As a user I do not like to get stuff for free. Competition is to the
advantage of the consumer. Let's say that a company provides a
service for free. The competitors selling a similar service are
driven out of business. The company decides to set the price for the
service. Will the consumer would not be able to do anything about that?

During a Microsoft Azure presentation I asked why university students
or small businesses were not taking up the offers which they given; I
don't recall exactly what I asked. The response was that there is a
lack of entrepreneurship.
Which entrepreneur or company in Mauritius depend on internet access
for its business?
There is a press group which has an annual revenue of three hundred
million rupees. It is up to the private radio stations to see
whether zero-rating will affect their revenue.

The reality is that the telcos can decide what you consume. I don't
think that your business would survive if you start one. The problem
is, as you mentioned; there isn't healthy competition.

It is not to my advantage if I have to give up on using email to communicate.
