India, the world's second-biggest mobile market, will become the first country in Asia to get the new Internet.org app, which targets mobile phone users.
The app, aimed at low income and rural users, will offer access to more than 30 Web services, including job listings, healthcare and education sites, as well as Facebook's own #social network and messaging services. It will be provided via the Android operating system.
Specifically, Reliance customers in six states (Tamil Nadu, Mahararashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Kerala, and Telangana) will get access to the more than 30 Web services. Reliance subscribers can access these services in the Internet.org Android app, at www.internet.org, from the start screen of the Opera Mini mobile web browser, and using the Android app UC Browser for Internet.org. Most of the services will be available in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Gujarati and Marathi.
