Why is Facebook really investing in Reliance Jio? All the happy talk about serving small businesses does not logically lead to a $5.7 billion investment. My article with @MikeIsaac https://t.co/gvks9h5oKI

Why's Facebook paying $5.7 billion for a stake in India's Jio?

FB gets a foothold in rural India -- and a powerful local ally. It's had regulatory problems there.

Jio gets product and data/ads expertise -- and, crucially, cash.
