Facebook joined hands with Reliance Communications to give Free Internet in India under Internet.org Programme. How to use Free Internet by Internet.org. Last year Facebook owner mark Zuckerberg Came to India for Internet.org Summit in new Delhi. There he said that:
Free basic internet access should be like dialing 911 in the US or 100 in India.
After saying this Zuckerberg talked about the problems that we Indians face in Internet connectivity and gave the ideas to offer free Internet access to more than billion people in India. As you might know that recently Facebook released Facebook Lite app. What's amazing is its size. Yes it's size is just of 252 Kb much less than their original app which is of MBs.
It almost supports all Facebook features and made it reliable to use Facebook in their low end Mobiles. Why he did this. What's the motive? He very well knows that India is biggest second country in the world and he also know that there are most of the people who don't even know that what Facebook is. So to connect a large part of population they are making all these improvements.
Now Facebook is launching there Free Internet Internet.org app in India by tieing up with Reliance Communications. First they will start with six Indian States in Indian which includes Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Gujrat, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Telangana. For your kind information i want to tell you that they had already launched this service in other countries where Internet influence is worst and this list includes Zambia, Tanzania, Kenya, Ghana, Columbia.
Those states in India can access dozens of services without giving a single penny for it. Services that they will get includes health, Sports, Weather, Travel, Communication and local government information.
The services that'll be offered to Indians under Internet.org program is Facebook, Dictionary.com, BBC News, BabyCenter & MAMA which provides information about pregnancy and childcare, Facts for Life, health and hygiene

How to Use Free Internet by Facebook Internet.org
Users of Reliance in India can use these services under the Internet.org Android App or you have another option i.e. By the start screen on Opera Mini Web browser ir you can also use most popular UC Browser for Internet.org.
Available services will be available in regional language which includes Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Gujarati and Marathi.
Personally i think that such huge steps will automatically will surely help mark Zuckerberg in reaching to the next billion users as he talked about it multiple times. But users can't use everything they are limited they can only use those limited services for Free that are given above.
On their Blog Facebook Posted: “This is a big step forward in our efforts to connect everyone to the internet, and to help people share their ideas and creativity with the entire world. We’ll continue to improve the experience and roll it out to other parts of the world.”
This is really an amazing programme by Facebook and Recharge BOX salute Zuckerberg for their Good work. I wonder how good this world would be when we all get connected. We can chat with anywhere to everywhere. Understand the power of Internet. As a example see Aam Aadmi Party how they used Social media in an amazing way.
