India-zuckerberg-protest

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has responded to the news that India's telecom regulator has banned the company's Free Basics program.

Free Basics, which began as part of Facebook's Internet.org project, allowed subscribers to Reliance — the biggest telecom in India — free access to Internet services.

In a Facebook post on Monday, Zuckerberg wrote that "while we're disappointed with today's decision, I want to personally communicate that we are committed to keep working to break down barriers to connectivity in India and around the world."
