Tech companies have been talking about doing stuff like this for a while. Facebook is doing something like this in India but they are engaged in a net neutrality debate over it because it allows only a few websites that Facebook chooses. It's also ad supported so it ends up being a shining violation of net neutrality principles. The risk is if I wanted my website to be included I could just make a donation to the project to help with costs and my website would be added to the nice list that people can reach.

The whole idea of net neutrality is supposed to be an all or nothing proposal so I can see how some of the arguments against it are valid.

I shiver in bowl-sickening fear for what it must be like to have facebook-provided internet.
