Zuckerberg to create ‘on ramp’ infrastructure for internet

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg attracted a bumper crowd at his keynote address at yesterday’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Delegates at the congress began queuing three-and-a-half hours before his six o’clock address in the evening, while those unfortunate not to get into the auditorium watched from a live stream in four surrounding auditoriums or on TV screens peppered around the purpose-built conference centre.

Zuckerberg spoke for 45 minutes in a question-and-answer session with David Kirkpatrick, the author of a book on Facebook. Kirkpatrick said he first met Zuckerberg in 2009, when the Facebook founder was 26.
