Exposed: Delhi's black market swings into action to get round 'odd-even' car formula using stickers and false number plates

  1. Mozilla in partnership with Grameenphone (owned by Telenor Group) in Bangladesh allows users to receive 20 MB of data usage for free each day, in exchange for viewing an advertisement. Their partnership with Orange will allow residents of multiple African countries to purchase $40 Firefox OS smartphones that come packaged with 6 free months of voice, text, and up to 500 MB per month of data.

    Why is this model not followed by Facebook? Why do they want to inspect packets of data consumed by users of "free basics"? Just because people are poor, does that mean they have no right to privacy?

  2. The father of the internet advised developing world to ‘just say no’ to Facebook’s Internet.org scheme. If what he is saying is misplaced fear, Why has Zuckerberg not addressed the misgivings of Tim?

  3. If the aim of facebook is to connect users, then why VOIP services are not allowed on "free basics" platform?

  4. If the aim of facebook is to connect users, Why video is not allowed on the platform, when video is the most expressive form of communication, and it cuts across language barrier and literacy barrier?

  5. Zuckerberg is from USA and 15% of Americans don't have access to internet, his wife is from China and 51.2 % Chinese don't have access to internet, why Zuckerberg doesn't have "free basics" in those countries? Does he thinks, India is a land of snake charmers and he can get away with violating net neutrality in India?

  6. Why does facebook in particular and American corporations in general consider India as guinea pig? Why Zuckerberg wants to test the limits of net neutrality he can breach and get away with? Why doesn't he run pilot of "free basics" in USA for 5 years, and then we will decide if we want the service or not. We are not in any hurry, why is Zuckerberg in hurry? Is it because facebook share price is overvalued?
