I will go ahead and show Internet.org about how wrong they are in thinking that offering a few basic services will cover people up. Say they offer, Google (or any search engine) - the search is useless if the sites returned are not accessible for free. Offering google for free and blocking the rest is like saying, "Hey, you can see all these trailers for free. Wanna see the movie? Pay us a truck load of money." And no, the "preview" is not enough. I cannot ask question on Stackexchange from the "preview", for instance. Facebook - The people are most likely already communicating with each other. How sharing "pics" and "liking them" for free will give them "raw knowledge" is beyond my imagination. I, among many other people, am not a Facebook user and enjoy my life with all the productivity in the world. Wikipedia - The thinking that wikipedia contains all the knowledge in the world, and we can get all the information from it is utter crap. Say a poor person in a village wants to learn web development. Tell me how exactly does Zuckerberg think that Wikipedia can teach him JavaScript? Wikipedia provides overviews, stories, and some details, but it can hardly be considered as the library of all books. News sites - seriously? Radio stations are free, much more helpful, feasible, and have a more affordable infrastructure. And they would be limiting users to only selected news sites so the chances that they get a one-sided view of things is more than likely. Skype - In India, the rates of phone calls is ridiculously cheap. Indian service providers provide the cheapest phone call rate in the entire world. The problem is not cost of the call rate, it is the lack of infrastructure. Network problems, dropping lines etc. Cleartrip - Let me tell you something, no poor person will be able to use cleartrip or the likes to book anything since poor people in India don't sit in flights, they don't have credit and debit cards to make online transaction, they don't book hotels. Anyways, getting a usable internet enabled device is more of problem, IMO. The Indian government still took the most authentic step to help the situation, by making the world's cheapest tablet (Aakash) with a fair spec set. If Internet.org expects poor children to stare at a 3" dull screen showing wikipedia or anything in tiny text all night which can harm their eyes, they really need to think again.
