Facebook on Tuesday reported a tie-up with Reliance Communications to provide internet services on mobile phones for free, making India the First Nation in Asia to get Internet.org.
The service has already been propelled in Zambia, Tanzania, Kenya, Colombia and Ghana. India now becomes the sixth destination for Internet.org.
“More than a billion people in India don’t have access to the web. That implies they can’t enjoy the same opportunities many of us take for granted, and the whole world is robbed of their thoughts and inventiveness,” Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the development on his social network.
The tie-up gives subscribers of the Anil Ambani-drove Reliance Communications who have Internet-empowered handsets free access to about 38 Websites.
The list includes Facebook, Wikipedia, and Reliance Astrology. The lone search option accessible is Microsoft’s Bing.
They can be gotten to through an Android application.
