NEW DELHI: Reliance Communications has decided to make Facebook's Free Basics platform a paid one following the telecom regulator's regulation barring discriminatory pricing of data services, which includes a ban on zero-rated products.A spokesperson at RCom said that subscribers will have to pay applicable data charges for accessing websites or apps through the zero-rated Free Basics platform, once necessary technical modifications are done over the next few days.RCom is the only distributor of Free Basics in India. It had been asked by Telecom Regulatory Authority of India ( Trai ) last December to keep the service in abeyance till the regulator cleared it. And following the latest regulation released on Monday, which is effective immediately, Free Basics can't be offered in India in its present free form.Facebook didn't immediately respond to emailed queries, but it has previously expressed it's disappointment with the regulation mandated by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, which dealt a huge setback to the social networking giant's efforts to promote it's Free Basics platform in India.Facebook says Free Basics is designed to connect the unconnected billions but critics say it creates a walled garden of only selected websites or apps, thus violating the concept of net neutrality
