Facebook Is Expected to Introduce Its Phone
Facebook does not have to build a phone, as its chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, has long maintained. But it needs to find a way to play a bigger role in delivering what consumers want from their phones: ways to communicate, find answers to questions, shop and be entertained. The company would especially like to become that workhorse for the vast majority of its users who live outside the United States and from whom, so far, it barely profits.
