Former Google Fiber general manager Kevin Lo joined Facebook as director of infrastructure connectivity and investments.

Kurt Wagner and Mark Bergen of Re/code reported that Lo ran Google Fiber for five years, leading its operations in its initial three cities, adding that he will not work on Internet.org Free Basics.
