RCom offers free Facebook access

Reliance Communications claims to be ofering subscribers free mobile browsing on its new 0.facebook.com site. This will enable RCom subscribers to access Facebook from a mobile web Browser without incurring any data charges for at least one year. (Though the operator may decide to change the time period for which this offer will be valid.)
Facebook’s 0.facebook.com site is a faster and lighter version of Facebook’s mobile site m.facebook.com. The site does not have graphics or photos and its pages have been designed for the RCom network. Standard data charges will apply when a person leaves 0.facebook.com to view photos.
According to Anil Pande, value added services, Reliance Communications, the service is free of any data charges and thus, there is no monetisation angle to it. Apart from Reliance Communications, Videocon GSM mobile services had also announced a tie up with Facebook for the same service recently.
