According to recode.net the $19b acquisition of WhatsApp was a step closer to Facebook founder’s, Mark Zuckerberg, dream to bring internet closer to everyone in the planet. Zuckerberg’s project called the internet.org is joint initiative among Facebook, Telecommunication carriers and mobile hardware makers and aims to lower the cost of connecting to the web via mobile devices. This initiative targets the 4 billion-plus population in the developing world to gain access to services and opportunities the internet affords.
Zuckerberg said buying WhatsApp help’s the internet.org project and its mission to connect and provide internet access to two-thirds of the world not yet connected.
