The demand for smart devices due more to the need for users by a data connection rather than models designed for calls and messaging, so that operators should see this area as a niche opportunity, said founder and president of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg.
During his participation in the Mobile World Congress (MWC), held in this city, explained that adhere to this connectivity will allow growth in this business model and ensured that end users should only pay for the use of this service.
In his opinion, the only way to accelerate the adoption of Internet is by including data service users and in this respect “are the operators who can make this change.”
This, because the operators still consider them calls and messages the most important aspects in the market, but is itself the Internet and specific applications, who shape the future of connectivity.
Facebook CEO emphasized that accelerate this initiative will allow speak of a greater number of connected devices rather than people.
He stressed that his role in the industry is not the regulator far as the operator, but to someone who proposes a social network that connects to a larger number of people.
Against this background, Zuckerberg reiterated its interest in working with operators and stated that both Facebook and WhatsApp encourage the use of data and show the need to develop tools using data “and that is the future” because the applications are bearing increased use of network data.
In that regard, he stressed the case of Colombia, where a developed market shows great potential partners within has allowed nearly half the population in that area is connected.
That is why we stressed the need to create a beneficial model for operators because while “more people buy data operators earn more money and Colombia, which continues to grow, has great potential for our members within a reasonable time”.
