For the &quot;last mile&quot; this should certainly be true. We drive on public infrastructure to get to the airport. To continue this analogy: Any party could then maintain private infrastructure in India (or anywhere) for free public consumption. Like a local retailer. They could pay for &quot;international shipping&quot; to keep these services supplied with fresh data. This would allow Facebook to accomplish its ostensible goals. Without becoming the governor of a walled garden.
