Bah! Who cares who if Facebook or Google makes money if it's a net win for everyone. They make money but those using the service learn how to use the internet and a few learn more then that. Those few then figure out how to build their own ISP. It's a conversation and a conservation has to have two sides. This provides a reason for FB and Google to start the conversation. It's a rising tide that lifts everyones boats. Sure it's optimistic of me and maybe those that use FB's internet never rise above that but I doubt it and it's better than nothing.
