In a bid to provide free access to 33 websites in order to garner a wider audience and customer base, Reliance Communication (RCom) has joined hands with Facebook Inc. The initiative aims to encourage more people to use the Internet.
These websites will be across eight categories - social media, news, career, education and knowledge, sports, health and social welfare and search engine Bing. About 70 per cent of people in India don’t have access to Internet.
The free websites include Facebook, ecommerce portal OLX, Cleartrip, TimesJobs, Babajob and sports website ESPN Cricinfo. The service has been initially launched for Reliance customers in Mumbai, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Chennai, Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
Reliance Communications is India’s foremost and truly integrated telecommunications service provider. The company, with a customer base of about 150 million, including over 2.5 million individual overseas retail customers, ranks among the Top 4 Telecom companies in the world by number of customers in a single country.
