Telefónica to Incorporate Facebook into Mobile Portals

Telefónica announced a deal to integrate access to Facebook's mobile service and applications from all of Telefónica's mobile portals. This agreement will expand the current relationship between the companies in the UK into a worldwide agreement.


Facebook claims more than 100 million registered users. This agreement will enable Telefónica's more than 171 million mobile subscribers to stay in touch with their friends on Facebook and take part in one or more social networks, depending on their work, academic, or leisure interests, at any time and from anywhere.


Incorporation into the agreement will take place in two stages, both for Europe and for Latin America. The first stage includes Ireland, Germany, Spain, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Colombia. The second encompasses Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, Central American countries, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.http://www.telefonica.comhttp://www.facebook.com
