Facebook would only be a gatekeeper in India if no one else decides to offer a competing service. Google plans to.

If I am a startup, I should request Facebook and Google to consider my portal as a basic service and allow millions to use it for free and they know of all my traffic all the time.

That's not the internet I know and wouldn't serve anything but the self serving interests of these conglomerates.

nope. then both would be gatekeepers for their own. even if you disagree with this, the carriers are still playing gatekeeper by zero rating services they choose to zero rate.
