While instant articles often focus on the speed and convenience of reading news via Facebook, Instant Video seems to focus on cost and accessibility. This can make it a great boon to Facebook’s efforts in the developing world. Mobile data prices can be very high compared to average income, and the network can be intermittent to make video viewing frustrating.

Facebook is thought to be eager to enhance the video experience on its social network because the video also carries more lucrative ads closer to the television ads that brands used to make.

By testing the “instant video” feature on Android devices, it turns out that Facebook targets users in developing countries, where iPhone phones are rare, and where Android phones are often used by teenagers.
