“Britain’s infrastructure policies and plans do not at first sight refer much to the requirements of the EU....The UK largely invented the role of economic regulators for specific industries. As they have evolved over the last quarter-century their role has changed with the rise in importance of environmental concerns and the focus on infrastructure as a generator or facilitator of growth and productivity. Brexit offers the opportunity to rethink the political economy of how the UK’s regulation of such sectors can develop to be fit for the twenty-first century.”

It goes without saying that the Internet plays a significant role in every single aspect within the modern life. As if it left no choice for us, not to jump in the same boat. However, a story of Internet is another story of injustice. Those who have resources to obtain the connection can enjoy its benefit in ease. While there are still million people who have not connected to the Internet, not by intention of course. Then comes the digital divide, a matter of unequal access to infrastructures. But this situation that we’re in forces everyone to be a part of an online community. 

So Mark Zuckerberg with his Facebook aims to take that role of filling the gap of the digital divide. Does it come with a price? Both Yes and No. No, because through their initiative, Internet.org, Facebook created Free Basics platform to provide free Internet service for those who in need. It doesn’t  come with a price tag indeed. But do not forget an inevitable premise of Informational economy, that the Information equals money. Your information and online activity are the only things that they want from you. If Facebook is an Empire, Free Basics is their reward for the new territory that has been conquered.
