Supplemental context
Jio’s public launch in 2016 brought a large new mobile network into India’s communications market, initially offering promotional free services. Its cultural importance includes changes in everyday access to video, messaging and other online activities. Future readers can examine the relationship between infrastructure, pricing and participation without attributing all digital change to one company.
Creator/community: Reliance Jio teams, infrastructure workers and Indian mobile users Place/era: India; public commercial launch in September 2016
