Well there is a big innovation in the business model, something MS missed, that the internet could be cheap on good phones and that chat apps could replace expensive SMSes. In fact, in France where SMS were free very early,whatsapp failed to pierce for much longer than elsewhere to a point the EU blamed our telecom companies from blocking innovation by being too cheap.
MSN was a stupid senseless loss for a long while nonetheless, even in France, as Facebook took time to regrow the networks already made via MSN.
- unethical_ban 6y ago>the EU blamed our telecom companies from blocking innovation by being too cheap. A source would be nice, but I completely believe it - and it's infuriating. "The government is so effective, capitalists have nothing to improve in order to line their pockets!" It's what the GOP wants to do to municipal broadband service in the US.
