Facebook aims to quell controversy with connectivity vision at MWC 2019
At the biggest mobile show in the world, it's easy to be blinded by the vast array of shiny new phones. They have a tendency to hog the spotlight. But look a little closer and you'll see Facebook at MWC 2019. No, it's not launching a phone -- HTC tried that with the Facebook button-rocking ChaCha back at MWC 2011 with little success. Instead, it will likely continue to press an issue that's long been a priority for the company: improving internet access and getting more people on its social network. Go back a few years, and you'll see when Facebook really made its presence felt at the show.
