&gt;&gt;Facebook wants to pay for some bits by attaching the economic value of future customer, and that is fundamentally a justified thing.<p>Facebook realizes there is very little value they can add to whatever they have done so far. So now the only way to be safe from competition is to create a monopoly and prevent others from even getting a chance from competing with them.<p>&gt;&gt;People on HN are hell bent on claiming that somehow this is a bad thing<p>It is.<p>&gt;&gt;for most people this makes their lives better.<p>Its the first step these companies take before they start charging for VoIP calls.<p>&gt;&gt;I&#x27;m surprised that TRAI (an organization which should be gotten rid of completely according to me) caved in to Net Neutrality proponents.<p>I&#x27;m only surprised it took them this late, after this much activism.
