Why Does Facebook Decide To Provide Free WIFI In Big Businesses
Facebook and Cisco announced that they will work together to develope free WIFI in many big businesses, such as hotels and retailers. People who want to use the free WIFI simply need to log onto their Facebook account. Facebook does not provide the equipment, instead Cisco takes the job of building equipments in the businesses. Why does Facebook want to set up more WIFI spots in those big businesses? People are more likely to log onto Facebook when there is WIFI around and by providing more free WIFI spots, more people tend to log onto their accounts and Facebook will definitely get benefits from that. The second reason for providing these WIFI services is that there are some people who never use Facebook before and now they may probably register only because that the Facebook account can activate the free WIFI. Facebook can gain more users by forcing people to have an account even though they do not use the account for anything else except getting internet. The last reason is that Google builds a special WIFI system for Starbucks in the United States and this triggers Facebook, the largest competitor of Google, to set up their own unique WIFI system.
