Internet.org
Internet.org is a global initiative led by Facebook to bring Internet connectivity to "diverse, local communities". [1] The project is combined effort between seven major telecommunication companies, including Ericsson, Mediatek, Opera, Samsung, facebook, Nokia, and Qualcomm.
The non-profit has identified three major areas for exploration including:
- Affordability--Supporters will work together to ensure access to the Internet isn't a barrier.
- Efficiency--Supporters will build and strengthen the infrastructure needed to keep the Internet stable.
- Business Models--"Developers, mobile operators and device manufacturers will work together to introduce business models that give people more ways to go online."
