Now let’s look at some of the facts: Facebook, Spotify, and INQ Mobile have a single common link: Chinese billionaire Li Ka-Shing who is an investor in all three companies. In addition, he owns Hutchinson, a wireless network operator that has 3G networks (branded 3) in 12 countries. INQ Mobile CEO Frank Meehan sits on the board of Spotify. With Google planning a mobile music offering and Apple already a strong presence in the digital media space, Facebook needs a music partner: Spotify. (via GigaOm)
