A Facebook-sponsored service that offers limited free Internet access was suspended in Egypt on Wednesday Dec 30,2015 after a permit required from the government was not renewed, an official from the Telecommunications Ministry told
Facebook's Free Basics service, which aims to provide free access to Facebook and some partner websites in developing countries, was launched in Egypt two months ago by the mobile carrier Etisalat.
The official, who declined to be named, said Etisalat had only been granted a permit to offer the service for two months and that, when it expired on Wednesday, the service was suspended.
