Facebook is playing Superman for mobile carriers who’re already choking on bandwidth. Facebook today announced the launch of Facebook Zero, a text-only mobile site, for a select set of mobile carriers. Facebook Zero is a stripped down version of Facebook’s existing mobile site.
You can access Facebook Zero at zero.facebook.com from your mobile device if it has been enabled for your operator. Chances are pretty slim although. Facebook will offer Zero to mobile carriers at no extra charge. Operators have the choice to provide it for free to their subscribe and if a user wishes to access data intensive applications like photos etc. on the mobile then an operator might choose to charge their users.
For Facebook it’s yet another method to add to the increasing the usage amongst mobile users, another step towards fetching Twitter-lovers.
