What humors me most is that no one is up in arms against Reliance. On top of it, no one is suggesting Reliance whose owner is a billionaire long before Zukerberg was, to give free interwebs to his fellow Indians.

India has 80% adults with no access to Interwebs, how are you going to solve this problem in next 5 years?

You could solve this problem if the govt provides more spectrum to the telco companies and in turn ask them to subsidize it to the poor. In this day and age, its not tough to do it. Just because it's tough, you would not want to accept some unfair offering.

So why is it not being done? From my previous life spent in India, government subsidies are guaranteed income for politically connected.
