They have spent the last two decades, from the debut of the service, where millions of users are now relying on to achieve all of them, all over the world, and taking into account the updates in real-time, on the terms and conditions of the traffic. It is interesting that on the same day (February 14), was set up on YouTube, a platform that BigG going to take at a later date.
