Facebook-led initiative internet.org app was launched in Bangladesh on Sunday to provide cost free internet service to the people of the country.

Anyone with a Robi SIM can access some specific websites using the app without any data charge. For that, one has to install the internet.org app from google play store.

At the launching event, State Minister for ICT Division Zunaid Ahmed Palak stated internet.org’s initiative will be an incredible opportunity for the people of Bangladesh, especially in making the internet experience more accessible for all.

Internet.org is a Facebook-led initiative with the goal of making affordable internet access available to the two thirds of the world who are not yet connected and to bring the same opportunities to everyone that the connected third of the world has today. The internet.org app launched on 31 July 2014 with the link http://internet.org/press/introducing-the-internet-dot-org-app
