$800. is still doable for many new businesses, so long as they take installments. Nowadays many people under 40 spend that much on one telephone that ‘does everything’.

When that deal went through, I read that service providers in Europe and Asia do not charge for messages sent by WhatsApp.

But, they do charge their customers for FaceBook messages, which means fewer FB messages and fewer ads sold.

I believe they use different transmission technologies.

I don't use FaceBook or Twitter, so I can't explain it any better than that.

Do you think ‘Glass’ is on it’s way to becoming the next Segway? A curiosity tool, good for a few specific situations?
