Your comment doesn't make any sense. Wireless carriers will always have access to location (based on cell towers) and don't have successful advertising businesses.

Verizon own Yahoo and AOL (Verizon Media). AT&T owns Warner Media.

In Canada our two major wireless providers (oligarch) own most of the content providers as well.

These giants are most definitely involved in advertising at some level.
