Facebook creates Internet.org alliance to reduce cost of mobile data, connect the developing world to the internet
2013-08-21 15:48:38| Extremetech
In one of the most admirable but least altruistic moves ever, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is heading up Internet.org, a new global partnership that aims to bring down the cost of mobile internet access, and to connect the roughly four billion inhabitants of Earth who still don't have access to the internet. The primary goal, of course, is to ensure a steady stream of new customers -- and thus an increases in stock market valuation -- for the members of the Internet.org alliance, which includes Qualcomm, Samsung, and Nokia, among others.
