- Terr_ 12y agoFacebook and mobile-phone companies in India got together to try a project. The project aimed to provide cheap internet access... only to their "approved" websites. Anything else requires more money from the customer... Or perhaps money from the companies whose websites are blocked. People are starting to realize/acknowledge that the arrangement is a bit of an anti-competitive conflict of interest with a tinge of "pay us or we'll block you" extortion.
- minusSeven 12y agobasically there was plan to give away "free internet" to people. But free here are basically the services of companies that have ulterior motives behind this. Its not really free except calling it that way.
