Industry experts say operators can offset any losses through effective costing plans by mobile networks.

The report gathered usage statistics from the leading social messaging applications typically used on smartphones across the world.

NO ONE LOST anything, it's not like someone stole it from them. They just didn't get it. Losing something assumes that you had it in the first place.
