Defaults matter. In Europe, 10% people opted in for organ donation. But when the mechanism was switched to an opt-out, only 10% actually opted out.

True - though that's mostly applicable because people don't really care if their organs are donated.

But any case, I don't see the default here; people have to choose the telco(s) that implement Internet.org, and sign up for it, no?

[nileshtrivedi]

Is that like saying Microsoft shouldn't have been penalized for bundling IE because the user chose the machine which came bundled with Windows which came bundled with IE? (Just so you know, telecom cartels are a reality - at least in India)

[icebraining]

I don't see how is it comparable. What is Internet.org bundled with?

[nileshtrivedi]

Bundled with the mobile service (Reliance in India, for eg)

@icebraining I can't reply in the thread so posting here.

Other internet data packages are bought explicitly by the user, and treat websites neutrally.

[icebraining]

How is it bundled anymore than any other mobile data package?
