its not a "reasonable compromise" from the point of view that Facebook is supposedly acting altruistically, this is a 100% self interested power play.

Is someone whose wireless Internet budget tops at $0 better off with access to 1 communication tool or 0?

(I realize that "unlimited communication tools" is the best answer here, but no one provides it at the budget specified, at least yet).

  • if the plan goes ahead, that could very easily turn into "never provides", via facebook content lockin and strongarming.
