It's not a ridiculous conclusion, its reality. Theres a lot of people who will not pay for the internet if they can get Facebook, WhatsApp, wikipedia, and BBC for free. That's what internet.org is doing in India, and it will crush services like bandcamp that exist because of an open internet. Or t-mobile's free streaming plans - you pay for a couple hundred megs of data and your Spotify doesn't count towards that quota, so you can't download a bandcamp album because your plan doesn't allow for it. This isn't some crazy future we're imagining. This is the internet right now.
