Government website access sounds like one of those things that's nice in theory, but in practice something people don't really use that often and don't care about that much.
The websites in Free Basics are websites that many people use all of the time. Though including utility type sites may have been the right call from a marketing perspective.
Not sure what the reasons were behind the MiTM - possible it was to prevent people using Free Basics to access everything by spoofing the domains and encrypting the traffic? Not everything is a conspiracy.
Definitely agree that access to everything is better, but wifi hotspots are nothing new and require you to actually go to them. Plus if you had Free Basics you could still use the wifi hotspots anyway - now those people have nothing.
