All Reliance subscribers in India can now access free Internet via Facebook’s Free Basics

Reliance subscribers across India can now access Free Basics by Facebook to try basic Internet services for free.
Mark Zuckerberg today through a
Facebook post announced that all Reliance subscribers across India can now access free Internet, for limited basic services, via Facebook’s Free Basics.
In October last year, Facebook had launched Internet.org to provide basic Internet services for free of cost to Reliance customers in six Indian states- Tamil Nadu, Mahararashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Kerala, and Telangana. With this announcement from Zuckerberg, all Reliance subscribers across India can now have similar access.
Facebook’s global Internet project called Internet.org was recently renamed as Free Basics by Facebook. The ambitious free Internet project took plenty of flak on social media after experts questioned the intentions of Facebook on grounds of net neutrality.
Free Basics by Facebook app is available on all Android phones.
