Mark Zuckerberg can’t believe India isn’t grateful for Facebook’s free internet
- nitin_flanker 11y agoMark may think that he is doing right, but in reality, he is not. Even now FB is running an Ad campaign on TV channels in which Mark is addressing gathering at Town Hall of IIT-D and professing free basic internet. Though how hard he argues, it is against net neutrality and yes they websites that are going to be there under free basics, are going to become way more popular than the other. So one way or another, this isn't a charity as Mark is pinpointing, it is money making under the covers.
- sreenadh 11y agoIf MarkZ is really serious of providing free Internet in India. He has 2 options: 1. Provide free access to non-profit sites like Wikipedia & Indian Govt sites that will help the people. This is in a gray area as Wikipedia in non profit org and Govt sites do not profit from the access of people. 2. Provide very Indian user free 200mb internet connection. The user can access any site they want. With some browser like Opera Mini that takes less bandwidth. The point MZ refuses to understand or acts like he does not understand is that if his version of service starts, the "next-Facebook" will not have any chance in India. Hope he does not forget that Facebook itself was the "next-Orkut" & "next-myspace".
