        @BenedictEvans that 18BN messages sent was on New Year's Eve and not on a daily basis, right?

        @BenedictEvans So what is the business model for companies like What’s app and Line? Beyond verticals or selling out to a FB or Google?

        @BenedictEvans Or is selling verticals (i.e. Stickers, etc.) the only source of income?
