Facebook joins with Nokia to empower Connectivity
With regard to making the world more open and connected as well as give people the power to share, Nokia has entered into partnership with Facebook.
As per the current scenario, there are nearly 5 billion who are not online. So when the people and communities will have access to the internet, they will be able to connect with more people, new relationships and new opportunities. Device, access to data and applications are the three things which are required in today’s mobile world to connect with people and information. Keeping in mind all these things, both Facebook and Nokia have signed this alliance.
Vaughan Smith, Vice-President, Mobility & Corporate Development of Facebook, said, “Free data access helps everyone. Consumers can spend more time online without worrying about cost, OEM’s sell more web-ready devices and operators gain first-time data subscribers. We have also built a Facebook messaging platform for Asha devices that lets you see which of your friends are online so that you can start messaging with them right away, no matter where they are or what device they are using on mobile or on the desktop.”
As per this collaboration, Nokia has launched new Nokia Asha phone, which is preloaded with Facebook. And with low price points these devices are becoming the first Internet connected device many people will own. That is why Nokia has been working with operators to enable free access to Facebook and with device partners to launch phones with “Free Facebook” data packages.
