Internet.org

                                                        Internet.org

Internet.org is a non-profitable oraganisation founded by facebook and six other companies to bring affordable access to internet services to less developed countries by increasing efficiency, and facilitating the development of new business models around the provision of Internet access.

At the time of launch, Facebook's founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg released a ten-page whitepaper he had written elaborating on the vision        where he wrote that Internet.org was a further step in the direction of Facebook's past initiatives, such as Facebook Zero, to improve Internet access for people around the world. He also said that "connectivity is a human right.
