Mark Zuckerberg can’t believe India isn’t grateful for Facebook’s free internet

I wonder if the real issue is not just the net neutrality issue, but calling it &quot;free internet&quot;, using the internet.org domain, and not being totally forthcoming about the limitations.<p>Would people still have a problem if they simply relabeled it more accurately as &quot;free facebook with a few bonus items&quot; and marketed it as such?

I&#x27;d support if if they rename it to &quot;Crony connectivity&quot; (credit for the term : <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;chennaikat&#x2F;status&#x2F;682171933954146305" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;chennaikat&#x2F;status&#x2F;682171933954146305</a> )

Hopefully Indian govt. can work something out with telecoms to provide wider internet access.
