I agree with you in that the state is better placed to handle services for the public good, however private organisations can still offer services for the public good, the issue here is really down to what is proposed.

Let's put it like this, Facebook could be pushing for a net neutral version of free Internet access, the cost to them is exactly the same as the Free Basics plan, as the real cost is in the Internet bandwidth/infrastructure. The fact that they're not pushing for a net neutral Internet says volumes about their true intentions.
