    whatsbook is metabook's backdoor into their "private internet" plan that was shot down a while ago.

    mobile operators in india, Brazil, etc offer cheap plans where only whatsapp doesn't count against the pittance of data limits.

    then being able to make online purchase and search businnes, you pretty much have a chat web browser, running on a private internet. mission accomplished.
