Facebook Free Basics Internet Service Banned In India On Net Neutrality Concerns

India will soon be Facebook's biggest market, but a ruling by the country's telecom regulator could have a big impact on the social platform's ability to grow in the subcontinent, where over 80 percent of the population is still offline.

On Monday the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) announced it would be supporting net neutrality standards by saying "no service provider shall offer or charge discriminatory tariffs for data services on the basis of content."
