印度精英阶层反对为贫穷阶层提供网络,有一些表面看似正当的理由。比如,他们指责它是“限制性的,因此违反互联网的基本精神。但Internet.org之所以有所限制,是因为数据太昂贵,而不是为优先推广某些网站。事实上,真正有限制的是付费互联网,因为它们把不能付费的人挡在了门外。
Another objection is that the poor would think Facebook is the Internet as many in othernations do. But then in India “xerox is a verb that means photocopying, and many think theInternet is an American company. If the whole world were surveyed, it would come across asgenerally ill informed. Many are ignorant because they never had the opportunities, like beingconnected, to be informed.
他们反对的另一个理由是,印度贫穷阶层会和其他国家的许多人一样,认为Facebook就代表互联网。但在印度,“xerox只是意为“复印的动词,不代表施乐公司,还有很多人认为“互联网就是一个美国公司。如果在全球进行问卷调查,印度人会给人以孤陋寡闻的印象。很多人那么无知,是因为他们没有机会接触网络等获取新知的途径。
Also, there is a view that free Internet is just a ploy by Facebook to capture new markets. Thehistory of modern India is proof that corporate self-interest is often more useful to societythan altruism.
