On: Introducing the Internet.org App

[choffee]

Is there somewhere to complain about the domain name being an .org as this seems to be the opposite of the internet. Why don't they just give people 200Mb of free data if they really want to promote the internet. A better site name might be corpnet.com lockinnet.com.

Facebook.org would've been better.

Yea, smells like silo to me.

They're giving people something for free. It's hard to complain about that.

7 corporations get to decide what the word "internet" means or which books/sites are free? What about the other N-7 corporations in the world?

[RobAley → sfeng]

"Free" doesn't mean "good" necessarily. Drug dealers often give the first hit free (particularly to kids) to get them hooked.

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch
