Ok i understand the WhatsApp is great alternative to normal SMS messaging and that it has 500 mil users constantly coming back at higher rates.
What about the entry barricade?
What about competition?
We're not talking about a complex piece of software and a business model.
WhatsApp is living on thin ice, it just takes couple of seconds for a user to switch their message app to a new one. And that 500 mil. users are nothing but a big number that can migrate in the course of a 6 months.
This seems to me a similar mistake that's been done in the dot com boom era.
It's against the nature of internet ecosystem to drive a pile this deep.
