According to Chris Daniels, VP of Internet.org, Internet.org is the entire programme, while Free Basic services is "just a portion of Internet.org". Free Basic services is Facebook's initiative with operators, where it "offers a set of services where people can come online for the first time and understand what the internet is all about".
