Facebook has said that it will make a bid for the World
Wide Web worth $54 trillion.
In a statement Mr
Zuckerberg said, ‘‘we have had our eye on the Internet for quite some time.
This will be the biggest ever take-over of its kind and we are delighted to
bring our members this fascinating news today. Facebook has great plans for the
Internet and users can look forward to experiencing these changes in May.’’
However, Google CEO, Larry Page, has criticized
the decision to sell the internet as ‘crazy’ and vowed to intercept the
take-over. He said, ‘‘this kind of thing should not be allowed to happen. Facebook
will hold a monopoly if it buys the internet and that will not be fair on other
companies. There must be some kind of law against this sort of the thing.’’
But the founder of internet, Professor Leonard Kleinrock,
seems to be happy with the Facebook plan because of the gain he is going to
reap after the deal. In a statement he said, ‘‘when I invented the Internet I
knew I was on to something huge. A super take-over was inevitable, and so is
the $21 trillion I’m going to receive for my life’s work. Anyone who thinks
otherwise is just jealous’’
