Particular focus is given to the social media website Facebook and its Internet.org initiative, which is designed to offer free access to certain websites, including its own, via mobile phone. According to the author, private firms are better equipped to fill Internet access gaps than the public sector. Details on the relationships between mobile phone subscriptions, digital advancement, and private equity are presented.
