Nearly 80% of Indian internet access is through mobile phones. This contrasts with 57% in China and 37% in the USA.

I wonder how many of the 390 million internet users there only use WhatsApp and facebook, and nothing else. Facebook’s Free basics was thwarted, but maybe is a reality anyway?

I couldn’t read the WSJ article. Their paywall is too high to scale, and impermeable to my usual tactics 🙂

I even use my phone tbh (I find the WordPress app to be very useful); doubles as work and stress from work..
