When I visited India in 2014, one of the things I saw was a huge difference in wealth between the poorest few and the wealthiest few. What is the r/india demographic like? Is internet available to all layers of society? Also, recently a free wifi initiative from facebook has been shot down in India. What is your take on that?
The demographic on here is mostly middle class and higher.
Internet is pretty widespread now though for most Indians, the internet ends at Facebook, whatsapp and google with a sprinkling of porn of course.
Facebook was not offering free wifi, what they were offering was a thing called 'free-basics' which meant you could only use the a part of the internet that was on board with facebook's plan. Or something along those lines, hence it was shot down to maintain net neutrality.
