Browse internet without data

Over 85% of the world’s population lives in areas with
existing cellular coverage, yet only about 30% of the total
population accesses the internet. Affordability and
awareness are significant barriers to internet adoption for
many.
A year ago, Mark Zuckerberg had announced Internet.org,
Facebook’s effort to bring affordable internet access to
everyone in the world. This would widely cover access to
free basic internet services – tools for health, education,
jobs and basic communication. In last one year, while
working with mobile operators around the world to deliver
on this goal, Facebook has already helped 3 million
people access the internet who had no access before.

Today, Facebook has introduced the much awaited
Internet.org app. With this app, people can browse a set
of useful health, employment and local information
services without data charges. The app aims to bring
more people online and help them discover valuable
services they might not have otherwise.
Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg shared on his
facebook page,
Today, I’m excited to announce the launch of the
Internet.org app in Zambia. Right now, only 15% of people
in Zambia have access to the internet. Soon, everyone will
be able to use the internet for free to find jobs, get help
with reproductive health and other aspects of health, and
use tools like Facebook to stay connected with the people
they love.
This is a big step forward in achieving the mission of
Facebook and Internet.org. We’re looking forward to
bringing free basic services to more countries soon.
