Telcos are the missing link in AI adoption, say paying AI subscribers
Nearly three-quarters (74%) of US consumers who pay for generative AI services want those tools included directly with their mobile phone plan, according to new research from subscription bundling platform, Bango.
The survey of 1,400 ChatGPT subscribers in the US also reveals that demand for AI-inclusive telco bundles extends beyond mobile. A further 72% of AI subscribers want AI included as part of their home broadband or TV package, while more than three-quarters (77%) want generative AI tools paired with streaming services such as Netflix or Spotify, offering a bundling opportunity for telcos.
The findings signal a major opportunity for telcos to become the primary distributors of AI services. AI subscribers already spend over $65 per month on these tools, representing a high value audience for telcos.
