Facebook has been at the forefront of the big growth in mobile data usage in recent years. It is indisputably one of the big stars of mobile; one that most operators have wanted to ally themselves with to drive the sale of data plans on their networks.
Yet, by Facebook's own admission, mobile could be its Achilles heel. That's because, although more and more of its traffic is derived from mobile phones, it has yet to properly enable its mobile properties with advertising - Facebook's main revenue stream.
