English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
What is a [performance-based mobile and network company]?
I know mobile and network, of course, but what is "performance-based"? I can't find the exact definition of a performance-based company. Would you explain it?
Thank you in advance!

so performance here for mobile and network company is mostly about the coverage, apps, games and whatever else you might need being easily accessed at all times and all places...

Indeed, so many Americanisms have crept in...so, "going forward, what's the issue??":-))
agree Sheri P : Forty years ago it probably would have been gobbledygook in the U.S, too

BD's answer basically the same. We are both talking about efficiency of the product(s) being delivered to client

Competing on performance delivered

... rather than on e.g. price. Unlike AlllegroTrans (see comment posted by AT to gallagy's answer), I am not so sure that "performance-based" is necessarily an Americanism. I don't think it would have sounded odd to me even 40 years ago and I have never set foot in the US (though it is difficult to think oneself back in time).
