At the Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona, Facebook’s Chamath Palihapitiya, VP of Growth, Mobile and International shortly presented today zero.facebook.com.
Presumably, Facebook will offer Facebook Zero to carriers for free, since it helps them make the social network as ubiquitous on mobile phones as possible.
According to techcrunch.com, Facebook spokesperson Brandee Barker wrote back in reply to them asking for more details:
“Zero” is a light-weight version of m.facebook.com that omits data intensive applications like Photos. It will launch in coming weeks and we are discussing it at MWC as an option to make Facebook on the mobile web available to everyone, anywhere and allow operators to encourage more mobile Internet usage.
