In order to bring more partners on board, it has created a dedicated portal to help upcoming operators with setting up their services.

“As we approach year two, we’ve taken everything we’ve learned from working closely with our partners and are now ready to scale Internet.org free basic services. We’ve made it easier for any mobile operator to turn on Internet.org in new countries through a partner portal that includes technical tools and best practices, improving the process to offer free basic services to the unconnected.”

Facebook is anticipating it a success as it has alreadyexpanded to 17 countries in a year. Now internet.org operates in three continents and has creditto bring the worldwide web to a large segment of unconnected population.

A public firm’s data reveals Internet.org gather people up to 50 percent faster to the web than before. More than 50% also moved to its paid plan and benefited from the venture within the first 30 days. Moreover, over a million people accessed health services. However, there will obviously be some apprehensions regarding pricing andnet neutrality, since Facebook is very likely not entirely selfless with this altruistic act either.

Meanwhile, internet.org is reaching its Goal “to bring more people online and help them discover the value of the internet” quite well.
