No, it isn't, if by full connectivity we mean a neutral net.

There are ways to provide a neutral internet for free.

See Mozilla's partnership with Grameen Bank in Bangladesh. (You get 20MB of free data for viewing a ad). More details here:

Or Pepsi's campaign in India where you get codes on buying a soda, where each code gets you some data.

If Mark was indeed altruistic, he could get people 50MB of free data, which wouldn't have costed more than what it's costing him now(assuming that people would use more than 50 MB of fb on internet.org).

But that wouldn't have allowed him to create a sustainable monopoly, even if people would have used facebook on a free neutral network, which would still have fetched him money.

The only value of this deal to Mark is that Facebook gets to create a monopoly. This is something that should worry you.
