I like Eben Moglen's and Mishi Choudhary's take on this situation:

    Faced with the dawning public recognition that this 
    so-called philanthropy is nothing but an attempt to buy 
    the de-anonymised packets of the Indian poor at a bulk 
    rate, breaking their security in the process of 
    destroying their privacy, Facebook has no alternative 
    but to change the subject.

"Free Basics by Facebook provides free access to basic internet services to a billion people all over the world. Your service can be part of it."

Basic internet service. Ok. One app constitutes basic internet according to Zuckerborg.

> Your service can be part of it.

This part is my favorite. I know that my personal website is ineligible because it contains some JavaScript code that handles the navigation, but I submitted it regardlessly just to see how complicated the process is (and to write a blog post about my experience so that others would know what to expect).

That was like 20 days ago. I'm still waiting for someone from Facebook to contact me.

Why all the wording:
