With Facebook Home, Facebook is also very focused on offering the best experience they can on mobiles, the main access to the Internet. Google cannot afford to wait too long.

We believe Google doesn’t have to purchase Whatsapp but for sure Google must have a better mobile strategy in order to dominate the world of data.
