Facebook joins Nokia, Ericsson, Qualcomm, others, to form Internet.org

One of Facebook CEO and Co-Founder Mark Zuckerberg’s frequent mantras is that he wants to make the world become more open and connected. He took a giant leap toward this goal Wednesday by helping form Internet.org — a partnership between Facebook, Ericsson, MediaTek, Nokia, Opera, Qualcomm and Samsung, aimed at bringing Internet access to 5 billion people.

Zuckerberg posted about his newest venture on his Facebook page:

For nine years, we’ve been on a mission to connect the world.
