"WhatsApp is worth more than what we paid to get it," said the founder of facebook on Monday Mark Zuckerberg, defending her choice του να προχωρήσει σε μία από τις μεγαλύτερες εξαγορές στην ιστορία του κλάδου της technologys.
The popular application for online messaging, photo, video, and audio files was purchased last week from Facebook against 19 billion dollars.
Speaking at the Portable Technologies Exhibition Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the Mark Zuckerberg said the price it agreed to pay to acquire the app "was justified" because, with about 450 million users, "WhatsApp is one of the few services which could one day reach one billion users".
A little earlier WhatsApp had announced that from next April it will offer the possibility of conducting free phone calls via mobile phones.
To date the application offers the ability to record and Missionof instant audio messages, but not live conversations in the form of phone conversations.
