Why Facebook Could Finance Your Next Phone

http://www.wired.com/business/2013/04/facebook-phone-subsidy/

Facebook Home was released last week for six new high-end smartphones. Here’s how it might work: Facebook could offer to pay mobile subscribers’ out-of-pocket costs for a device like, say, the $200 Samsung Galaxy Note II. In exchange, Facebook Home would be allowed to show advertisements a bit more often on the device and to report back a bit more tracking data than it normally does (Facebook says Facebook Home tracks only the same data as Facebook’s mobile app, plus some anonymized app launching stats on rare occasion).
