Why the scare quotes around &quot;extremely corrupt&quot;?  Do you really think otherwise? India is notorious for pervasive total corruption from top to bottom.<p>Facebook is not doing anything about electricity; I mention that statistic to demonstrate how modern infrastructure has failed to reach a huge portion of Indians. Facebook has come up with a business model that can reach people that don&#x27;t have the ability to pay out of pocket for ANY connectivity.  By making it profitable for telecoms to serve these people, Free Basics would encourage that infrastructure to expand to the one billion people it hasn&#x27;t reached.
