Internet.org

edited August 2013 in Technology
From the moment Facebook was founded, I've never given a shit about Mark Zuckerberg or his baby.

Now, he might be doing some good for the world. Maybe.
Internet.org is a global partnership between technology leaders, nonprofits, local communities and experts who are working together to bring the internet to the two thirds of the world’s population that doesn’t have it.

Sharing tools, resources and best practices, Internet.org partners will explore solutions in three major opportunity areas: affordability, efficiency, and business models.
The New York Times has a more in-depth article.

More Internet access is always a good thing, but little snippets such as "pairing humanitarian goals with profit motive" bring out the cynic in me. What do you guys think about this?
