Recently Facebook has
announced a corporation with six cell phone companies bring together to form Internet.org. In this project companies like
Samsung, MediaTek,
Ericsson, Nokia, Opera and Qualcomm have come together for an aim to provide
affordable internet access for around 5 Billion people in the world who are
without it. All of the companies have come closer to work together for high
quality smart phones to make the web economical, and data compression
technology. It seems like the world is connected and just-one third of the
population globally has internet access, growing rate at 9% and internet.org
objective is to be reached that rate.
Facebook
CEO (FB) has stated Connectivity Lab aims
that there is a lot more work to do but there is barriers in emerging countries
to connect and join the knowledge
economy adding to this he also mentioned that connecting the whole world needs
to invent new technology too. Their team members are leading experts in space
and communication technology includes Ames Research Center and NASA’s Jet
Propulsion Lab. Internet.org has also taking its new member of the team from a
small U.K company named as Ascenta, whose founder has created earlier form of
Zephyr that has turn into the world’s longest flying solar power remote
controlled. They will offer services on connectivity aircraft.
There are three major reasons of partnership;
·
Making
affordable accessibility
·
Using
data more efficiently
·
Help
business to drive access
Facebook Founder concludes his paper
“Is Connectivity a Human Right?” that “he think connecting the world will be
the one most important things in lifetime , and he thank every day to have the
opportunity to work with all to make it in real”.
We
think that Facebook team mates have felt to share the happiness of growing
together with their family and friends through internet. We all want that too
but the thing is its nostalgic knowing that there is some people who don’t have
that opportunity. Internet.org will soon help share the connectivity experience
with the whole world.
