It's discriminatory to offer a zero-charge policy to one website while

What if I want zero-rating service for another app (e.g. FamilyWall, or

I want zero-rating for any/all kind of apps, not just for a small number of
specific apps.

Who is benefiting from this? Is Facebook "sponsoring" this free internet to

Are there any local social network platform? If there are, will Orange
throttle connections towards these websites?

Is it in our advantage?

If I have an Emtel sim and want to access facebook for free, I'll have to
make the switch to Orange.
If everyone uses Orange, what happens to the rest of the cellular
operators?
Have ICTA made any announcement on the topic of zero-rating fb from Orange?
