So seems that they are having something under development.

Facebook Free Basics meets wireless... that Image sound you just heard was the noise floor going up a few dB :tinhat:
Today is an average day: Worse than yesterday, but better than tomorrow.

I can't imagine this being successful in the US. The internet is more than just FB... A ton of infrastructure for social media I think. I think Netflix kills this concept in the US.

In countries without a lot of streaming media this might make a lot of sense.. It's almost 'AOL' like..
