Facebook Launches Zero, A Text-Only Mobile Site For Carriers
Facebook Zero opens the door for carriers to monetize the mobile web, while giving users a Facebook on the go. Important to note, this is an opt in service that individual carries need to sign up for.
This system is apparently called zero-rated pages, and allows operators to use a trimmed down version of a web application as a sort of teaser, driving the adoption of certain mobile services or apps, and more data usage revenue down the line.
