What Digital Turbine does

Mobile app distribution and monetization platform pre-installing apps on Android phones for carriers and OEMs.

Advertisers and app developers pay for each install or ad impression delivered to a phone, and Digital Turbine shares part of that with the carrier or phone maker that gave it the placement on the device. It expanded into ad exchanges by buying AdColony and Fyber.
