The general goal of the Internet.org project is honorable, it's a huge step into the future, giving to everybody an internet connection. Now, I have few concerns with timing and the modus operandi:
1. Facebook is actually working with governments in countries where poverty rate is extremely high, corruption is everywhere and the outcome is a logic so broken, that I can't see any advantage. They will have access to Facebook, but not to drugs, medical help or water.
2. Each country has a list of available services for free, this will discriminate some of others and, IMO, this is clearly against net-neutrality.
3. I am scared to see a company like Facebook (would be the same with Apple or Google) collaborating to expanding internet in the world, it looks like they are taking the chance to address all these new markets using the financial power they benefit.
They are all concerns based on opinions and assumptions, I hope to be proven wrong and that Facebook is doing it for a good, open world.
