Chi l’avrebbe mai detto! Pochi minuti mi è arrivato un comunicato stampa letteralmente incredibile, diramato sui circuiti internazionali, cosa che Gigi Tagliapietra mi aveva già anticipato nel pomeriggio a Venice Sessions a dirla tutta. Leggi qua:

PALO ALTO – CALIFORNIA (IMF) : Facebook Inc. announced yesterday an
innovative partnership with telecom operators to reward heavy users
with free bandwidth upgrades.

Facebook’s spokesman Adam Kovagatich while giving a presentation at a meeting of the Internet Engineering Task Force (www.ietf.org)
held on Mar 31st in Santa Monica, has disclosed the company has
developed a new signalling protocol based on the TCP/IP stack which
will allow Facebook to automatically report heavy users to partner
telecom companies worldwide.

‘Facebook is now entering revenue sharing agreements with major
operators worldwide that will allow our users to benefit from automatic
bandwidth-on-demand from partner ISPs’, Mr. Kovagatich added.

In order to benefit users who need it the most, according to sources
familiar with the company’s plans, the first agreements have been
signed in continental Europe as Facebook has chosen to prioritize their
efforts in countries with low telecom competition.

Sono pronto a scommettere che oggi, primo aprile, non si parlerà d’altro in rete… soprattutto su Facebook! A questo punto Google non potrà che comprarsi Facebook per cercare di sopravvivere in questo mondo Internet destinato a sorprenderti quando meno te l’aspetti.

Aggiornamento 2/4: La notizia era un pesce d’aprile.
