As you all know that
Airtel is presently
partnering with

really a nice innovation
but somehow
controversial, because

destroy net neutrality,

field.

What You need to
Have Before
Submitting your Site
to facebook Free-
Basic Program
Compatibility Issue
The goal of the Free
Basics Platform is to
provide people with a
set of free basic
services that will serve
as an onramp to
bringing them online.
More people will want
to connect to the
internet and ultimately
become paying users if
they first experience
the benefits of being
online. To do this
effectively for people
who are new to the
internet, it’s important
to have content and
services available that
are useful and easy to
use, to enable as many
developers and
entrepreneurs as
possible to participate in
Free Basics, and to
offer services that
encourage the
exploration of the
broader internet. you
can check more on the
compatibility issue here:
Compatibility check
guideline
This is some of the
services not supported
on Free Basics video
files, VoIP, file
transfers, and high-
resolution photos
(which will be truncated
if larger than 1 MB). You
can help your service
pass this stage of
review by limiting your
service’s bandwidth
usage.
One thing you have to
put in mind is that
make sure your site is
not relyinh on javascript
and if so you can be
able to secure a
working CSS script to
make your site
navigation simple, Build
your service to be

Optimize for feature
