যারা স্মার্টফোন ইউস করেন প্রায় সবার-ই Viber এপ্লিকেশন এর সাথে পরিচয় আছে।। আজ হঠাত জানলাম এটা ইসরাইলী এপ্লিকেশন।। তারপর নেট-এ দেখলাম আসলেই।। তাহলে অন্যান্য ইসরাইলী পন্যের সাথে সাথে আমাদের কি Viber বয়কট করা উচিৎ না?? Wikipedia থেকে কিছু তথ্য কপি করে দিলাম। Viber Media is a Las Vegas and Cyprus -registered company with its development centers in Belarus and Israel . The company was founded by Talmon Marco and Igor Megzinik, who are friends from the Israel Defense Forces . The company is run from Israel, with much of its development outsourced to Belarus in order to lower labour-costs. Founded in 2010, the company is co-owned by its four Israeli founders: Talman Marco, Igor Megzinik, Sani Maroli and Ofer Smocha, who have each increased their investment by over 30 times on the startups $900 million sale to Rakuten . Marco and Megzinik are also co-founders of the P2P media and file-sharing client iMesh. The company originally didnt generate revenues, but announced it would start generating revenues in 2013 via a sticker store. The company is funded by individual investors, who Marco has described as friends and family. As of May 2013, $20M had been invested in the company. Controversy Concerns about the applications Israeli origin were raised by many bloggers in the Arab world, with belief that it may involve spying, and these concerns were later featured by Al Arabiya News website, referring to Marco serving the Israeli army and having the development facilities in Israel. Later, in an interview with The Guardian, Marco confirmed that Viber was funded entirely by friends and family. We never took a single dollar from the state of Israel. We are not even incorporated in Israel. We maintain a research and development center in Israel and thats it.
