"Dentsu Aegis Network’s 360i has enabled ads.txt-only buying across all of its clients using Google’s demand-side platform to place their programmatic buys, said 360i svp and head of programmatic Kolin Kleveno," reported Digiday. "The agency made the decision after buying only ads.txt inventory with a sample of clients in August and seeing no degradation in terms of scale or a hike in CPMs, said Kleveno."

"The web version of ads.txt sped ahead with its release in June 2017," wrote Digiday, "but the mobile version has been poking along by comparison, slowed by the uncertainty of whether app stores will support the initiative." The article added: "[T]he app stores need to be involved in ads.txt. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to establish a trustworthy record of who is authorized to sell an app’s inventory without them."
