FB joins GSMA

Facebook’s status cannot be shaken, and almost every day there is good news. According to the TNW report, Facebook has joined the GSMA (Global System for Mobile Communications Association) – an association of mobile operators and related companies – to strengthen the focus on mobile and Establish closer relationships with operators and vendors. Facebook is the first social networking company to join GSMA.

Dan Rose, vice president of Facebook partnerships, said: “The inclusion of GSMA reflects our concern for mobile and our continuing desire to work closely with our industry partners. We look forward to playing an active role in becoming a member. "GSMA spokeswoman Claire Cranton said:" Facebook is clearly an important player in the mobile ecosystem, and cooperation with Facebook is very important when we publish projects on behalf of mobile operators."

She said that the organization has maintained cooperation with Facebook for several years and is pleased that Facebook has decided to join GSMA. Being a GSMA member indicates that Facebook will participate more in the GSMA Mobile World Congress (MWC). Joining GSMA also benefits Facebook’s Internet.org project. In August of this year, Facebook launched cooperation with Ericsson, Nokia, Qualcomm and Samsung Electronics to launch Internet.org with the aim of expanding Internet access through mobile.
