Facebook is reportedly preparing to introduce its free Internet program in the U.S., having faced fierce opposition to the venture overseas.

Free Basics by Facebook, which allows users to access specific sites (including the social network) via a free mobile app without draining their data, has thus far been launched in 49 countries.

Despite flourishing in parts of Africa, the initiative suffered a major
blow earlier this year when it was banned in India after the country's communications watchdog declared it in violation of net neutrality principles.

In order to avoid any such backlash on its home turf, Facebook has proposed the idea to White House officials in an effort to rally support. The company is also in talks with smaller, rural cellular carriers, which will be integral to the program's implementation. The aim is to target low-income Americans and those located in rural areas that do not have access to high-speed internet or lack connectivity.

"While we have nothing to announce," the company said in a statement, "Facebook's mission is to connect the world and we're always exploring ways to do that, including in the United States."

Essentially, Facebook wants to divert the attention from its zero-rating app and focus on the benefits of the program for Americans in underserved locations. The company likely fears the ire of consumer advocates who argue that zero-rating (when a carrier does not charge customers for data, so long as they use certain applications and services) goes against net neutrality principles -- which calls for equal access to all content sources.

This may explain why Facebook has reportedly avoided striking up partnerships with national carriers such as T-Mobile and AT&T, both of which offer their own zero-rating services. In June, around 100,000 Internet advocates sent letters to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) urging it to cover zero-rating under its net neutrality guidelines. The agency has not yet decided on whether it will take action.

Facebook has learned from its embarrassing India debacle, instead settling on a paid WiFi service in the country with the approval of the government. It now also allows any third-party organization to sign up to Free Basics if it is willing to provide a pared-down version of its service that won't drain excessive mobile data.

Aha, another interesting twist to the plot you've got there.
It would appear then that this "Lord Of The Sims" that many partners are turning into is a bigger, more pervasive than we initially thought!
It'd just be a bit sad if we all kept other "possible lines open" in marriages for any other reasons other than seriously legitimate ones.

Yes, there're more to this.
I saw a video of a girl (< 20yrs ) being asked " how many boy friend would u advise a girl to keep ? "

The girl in question replied " A girl should keep at least 3 boyfriends "
I was shocked, but that's how it's.
It was more shocking when she gave her reasons for that.
She said "If two of the three boyfriends are misbehaving at the moment, you'll just switch to the third". That's from a girl not up to 20yrs.

In this 21st, technology is not even helping. Most married men/women spend and enjoy their time online chatting and gossiping.

Even, when their partner is around, they can't just stay a minute without using their phone(s).
It's Sickening.

chachanga:
If
YOU DON'T HAVE THE SINCERITY AND COMMON
SENSE TO BREAK OFF THAT SIM YOURSELF, YOU'RE
A FAKE; AND A JOKER WITH A RING!

Well, that's one of the main reason I don't support girl/boy friend things.
During this period is either your boy/girl friend(s) spoils u sexually or financially or even both.
If these people didn't end up as a couple, it would result into serious problem in their marriages.
How ?
if their partner couldn't meet up with the standard that have been set by their boy/girl friend.

If they get marry to "Always" busy man/woman, it's a huge problem.

Problems start
When they remember how their past relationship(s) with their boy/girl friend(s). They'd really want to go/walk back into their past, then the issue of the SIM comes again.

This issue is complicated to those in it....
There's more to this

Nigeria's former national security adviser, held since December 2015 on fraud charges, should be released, a judge at the court of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) ruled Tuesday, saying his detention was unlawful and arbitrary.

Sambo Dasuki has been accused of fraud involving $68 million of defense spending, part of a wider $2.1 billion in arms deals under investigation. He has pleaded not guilty.

He served under Nigeria's former president,

There's a new Game of Thrones theory in town: Buckle up, because it ain't pretty. A new video by Alt Shift X, a YouTube channel devoted to exploring various Game of Thrones quandaries, speculates that Sansa Stark might marry — wait for it — Jon Snow.

Let me explain.

Last we saw Sansa Stark, she was spreading her wings and preparing to fly as Queen in the North. She's gone from whimpering princess to undisputed badass. Let's not forget how she gleefully destroyed Ramsay Snow last season — the girl is on top of her game.

It's sickening when you switch on your Decoder to watch a program and all you see is "Scanning....". The Decoder keeps scanning for stations you are not even interested in, stations you're not going to tune to.

Things U Can Do When Ur DStv Is Scanning:

1. Cook
2. Travel To China
3. Start A Relationship
4. Get A Diploma
5. And Have 3 Kids
6. Marry
7. Start and Finish an Online course.

You can add to this list.........

Matt is out of his prime. Jeff is the more marketable athlete. The Willow character also plays well as a dual personality I can see fitting well in the WWE universe. Matt's new gimmick is annoying honestly, I hate it and everything around the set always looks cheap - killing my immersion in the storyline.

You"re right tho.
He'll do well in WWE

French guy calmly destroys everything in Apple Store with steel ball

Everyone sometimes gets MAD at customer support, but this guy is taking it a bit too far during his visit to the Apple Store in Dijon, France.

This morning, the disgruntled customer walked in and started destroying various products with a steel ball of the kind that’s used in the classic French game Pétanque. If you’ve ever played the game, you know they’re very heavy.

In the video above, you can see him calmly undocking iPhones, iPod Touches and a MacBook Air, laying them flat on the table and crushing the screens with a barrage of firm smashes.

love o!

lol...@OP, you're funny... You're seeing those because those are your likely search you do on your personal computer (based on what you, Particularly typed on Google ). And that's why you can see Konga's advert even while on Jumia's page (based on what you're doing).
This is how it works, Google keeps records of your searches, thereby uses your previous visit (search) to predict your future search.
And that shows you've been asking Google how to make more...lol

Though, You've made me open the thread but I was disappointed seeing this... It all good though.

By now, you should know why that's that.. uh ?
