    Facebook buys 9.99% stake in Reliance jio for 5.7B $

    @novemberrainstorm It doesn't subsidize your internet access, unless you have cheaper internet on Jio only phones vs normal phones or they restrict what phone you use. It only subsidizes your devices, which happens with all other manufacturers too - most android devices already come with fb...

    Facebook buys 9.99% stake in Reliance jio for 5.7B $

    Couple in mid twenties that makes more than 15 Lakh/yr, needs financial planning/investment & retirement advise. (X-post r/personalfinance/)

    @debsy17 Is that your blog ? I started reading it with interest but as it went on (now I am not a finance guy) there are a lot of irregularities in the calculation I seem to notice.
