It's hard to remember, but things looked good forFacebook's ambitions in India last fall.
"India has 600,000 villages, and most people get scared when they hear this number. My vision is to connect them all with optical fiber cable in the next five years," Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said during atown hallwith Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg at the company's headquarters in Menlo Park, California, in September 2015.
Zuckerberg had begun the session by reciting India's importance in the history of Facebook. He said he was once unsure about his company's future, and his mentor, Steve Jobs, suggested he visit a temple in India, where he would find his answers, which Zuckerberg did. The revelation instantly struck a chord, not only with the prime minister, but also with many Indians watching the session online.

Cut to three months later and Facebook has somehow managed to become an enemy of the very same people Zuckerberg was trying to connect with. Much ink has been spilled onFacebook's Free Basicsprogram and how it violates the tenets ofnet neutrality.Mashablehas extensively covered the tussle between Facebook and India's telecom regulator, which finally culminated yesterday withIndia banning Free Basicsalong with other zero rated services.
It's fascinating how Facebook could stumble so badly when it came to one of its boldest betsin its mission to connect the unconnected population in the world.
Let's begin with some numbers. Industry estimates suggestIndia had 375 million Internet usersat the end of October 2015, a number that was supposed to touch 402 million. Facebook has over 130 million users from India that log in at least once every month, which translates to roughly one in three connected Indians who access Facebook. If you throw in the more than 100 million monthly active users WhatsApp has in India, the number of users of Facebook-owned services is even higher — assuming there are many people who use WhatsApp but don't have a Facebook account.
With Free Basics, Facebook said it wanted to bring more unconnected users online. At a town hall held at theIndian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhilast December, Zuckerberg said Free Basics had already brought 15 million users online, of which a million came from India. And that's not all — he claimed half of people who came to Free Basics opted to pay to access the whole Internet.
Basically not doing its job
What was missing from the announcement was the number of people who accessed Free Basics that were not exactly first-time Internet users. ABuzzfeedinvestigationrevealedthat in most markets where Facebook had launched Free Basics with carrier partners, the majority of users already had a data plan and used Free Basics to access Facebook for free or used it when they ran out of data credit.
In other words, Facebook's carrier partners were using Free Basics to retain customers by helping them access Facebook for free, while subscribers on other networks had to pay for it. No wonder carriers were willing to foot the cost of serving Free Basics.
"The biggest reason why four billion people don’t access the Internet — bigger than issues of access or cost — is they don’t know why it might be valuable," Zuckerberg hadproclaimedin his IIT Delhi town hall. That proclamation might have some truth to it, but in India's case access and cost might be bigger issues. Which takes us back to where I started — Prime Minister Modi's ambition to connect 600,000 Indian villages with optical fiber cable.
According to the latestreportavailable with the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (the same body that banned Free Basics), India had a total of 131.49 million "broadband" connections at the end of Nov. 2015. (TRAI classifies any connection above 512kbps as broadband — this includes wired connections, wireless as well as fixed wireless connections like Wi-Fi, WiMax and VSAT.)
That's 131.49 million connections for a population of over 1.25 billion — only about 10%
of the country.What India needs is more connectivity.
TechnologistAnil Dashtold Zuckerberg why Free Basics is probably the wrong approach for Facebook in India: "Internet.org may be a fundamentally wrong structure for delivering these kinds of services because it doesn't empower people to create solutions for themselves that are culturally and contextually appropriate. What about pausing the Internet Basics effort and spending some time on a real effort to listen to Indian voices about what would help them have connectivity on their own terms, in a way they find acceptable?" hecommentedon Zuckerberg's Facebook post on being disappointed with India's decision.
The point being that rather than giving unlimited access to a restricted Internet, Facebook could have served India better by giving limited, free access to the entire Internet. Surprisingly, Facebook is working on a project in India, called Express Wi-Fi, where it is encouraging local entrepreneurs to purchase inexpensive hardware to setup a public Wi-Fi network and provide affordable Internet service. Guess how many people know about this project? Certainly not the millions of Indians who came to know about Free Basics via Facebook's multi-million dollaradvertising blitzkrieg.
How Google is picking up Facebook's dropped ball
India's telecom minister, Ravi Shankar Prasad, has set a target of adding another 100 million Internet users in the country over the next seven months. To achieve this figure, the state-run carrier BSNL will be setting up 2,500 public Wi-Fi hotspots across the country by Mar. 2017. Facebook could have played a big role in this mission, but it lost its way somewhere.
After addressing the town hall session at Facebook's headquarters, Prime Minister Modi visited the Googleplex in Mountain View, California, where India-born Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced a partnership with Indian Railways toinstall 400 Wi-Fi hotspotsat the busiest railway stations — 100 of which would go online in 2016.
"Even with just the first 100 stations online, this project will make Wi-Fi available for the more than 10 million people who pass through every day.
This will rank it as the largest public Wi-Fi project in India, and among the largest in the world, by number of potential users," Pichaiwrotein a blog post announcing the partnership.
"It will also be fast — many times faster than what most people in India have access to today, allowing travelers to stream a high-definition video while they’re waiting, research their destination, or download some videos, a book or a new game for the journey ahead. Best of all, the service will be free to start, with the long-term goal of making it self-sustainable to allow forexpansion to more stations and other places, with RailTel and more partners, in the future," he added.
Google's Wi-Fi project, which has largely been welcomed, shows why Free Basics was flawed from the start: While Facebook was peddling a limited Internet where users could access its services along with others that Facebook chose, Google was giving away the entire Internet, and at speeds faster than then norm.
It's still an open question whether Google's project will succeed in the long term, but at least it's an attempt to address the key issue of connectivity, and with a level of service that most of the world enjoys. In contrast, Facebook's Free Basics was treating India as the third world. Indians have had quite enough of that, thank you.
With Facebook'sFriends Day videostaking over social media and reports that Twitter may be getting close to one of itsbiggest changes yet, you may have missed some of this week's best new apps.
SEE ALSO:How Facebook's fake holiday took over Twitter
Each weekend, we round up a few of our favorite new and updated apps. This week's list includes an interactive music app, a new email manager and an app that streamlines your social media feeds.
Check out the gallery below to see our top picks. If you're looking for more, take a look at ourlast roundupof can't-miss apps.
AirMail
Airmail, makers of the popular Mac email client, brought their app to iOS this week. The app handles the basics — multiple accounts, notifications, filters and folders — well but some of its best features remind us a lot of Mailbox (Dropbox’s acclaimed email app that’s set to go to the big inbox in the sky in the coming weeks.) Customizable swipes, snoozing messages for later, hooks into more than a dozen productivity apps and more personalization features than you ever thought you wanted all make for a damn useful email tool.
Pro-tip:The app has a special “actions” menu that enables handy one-touch shortcuts, like instantly turning messages into a PDF or add them to a to-do list.
This super cute endless jumper revolves around one simple task: jump from island to island while collecting coins and avoid falling in the water. The game features a pretty huge cast of animal characters, each of which must be unlocked through in-game achievements.
Pro-tip:Try to preview your jumps before you launch by holding down for a longer period of time to see the path.
Choose a song (the app’s songs are recorded by professionals) and be your own DJ as you swipe around the shapes — each of which represents different instrumental elements of the songs. Change your path and the songs and sounds change into something completely different.
Pro-tip:The app has a recording feature so you can save and share your creations and remixes.
SoFlow helps put all your social media streams in one place. Connect the app to your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr and SoundCloud accounts and the app pulls in the corresponding feeds, allowing you to check them individually or browse them all at once.
Pro-tip:The app’s search tool highlights Twitter’s trending topics and popular and trending Instagram posts.
Time for the Super Bowl. The app serves up a curated feed of news of the day but but you can also follow your favorite teams, watch videos and track headlines around the teams and leagues you’re interested in.
Pro-tip:Use the in-app game calendar to pin upcoming games you want to follow and set up game-day score alerts.
On Thursday, Facebook announced there are more than 800 million monthly active users on Messenger. While we can assume they're all at least chatting with each other, there's a whole lot more you can do in the app beyond instant messaging.
Over the last year, Messenger has shown it wants to be a one-stop shop for all your mobile needs — from sending GIFs to requesting an Uber. With so many updates, you may have missed some of the app's best new features.

From paying friends to customizing your message threads, we've rounded up 10 of our favorite hidden tricks that will help you get the most out of Messenger.
1. There’s a standalone website for Messenger
Unlike having two different mobile apps, the two different websites make more sense. For example, you can keep chatting with your friends at work without the distraction of your news feed. The interface is minimal and clean — similar to the app but expanded. For each conversation, there’s a sidebar where you can mute notifications for that person, access a call or video chat and see photos you’ve shared with each other.
2. You don’t need Facebook to use Messenger
IMAGE: FACEBOOK
Anyone with a phone number can access Messenger and its features, even if you don't have a Facebook account. All you have to do is download the app, and you can select “Not on Facebook?” You can sign up from there.
3. Request an Uber
You can do away with your Uber app, and call a car through Messenger. From within a conversation, select the "More" icon indicated by three little dots and tap "Transportation." You can log in and request an Uber from there. Like the Uber app, you’ll receive updates on your driver’s status, notify friends, track the ride and pay for it.
4. Pin a group conversation for easy access
If you chat with the same group of people all the time, you can pin the conversation so you don’t have to scroll through to find it. Tap the Groups button at the bottom of the app, and you’ll see a Pin button in the top left corner. You can select the conversation you want to add, and you can assign a name to it. You can also add a photo as the group avatar by tapping on the camera button.
5. Mute notifications
You can silence specific conversations by tapping the name at the top of the message. In the drop-down screen of options, tap Notifications and select the period of time you want to mute it — like fifteen minutes, one hour, eight hours, 24 hours or indefinitely until you turn notifications back on. You can also turn off notifications entirely.
6. Make a payment
IMAGE: FACEBOOK
There are a few popular apps that let you pay your friends without any cash, but that means downloading yet another app. If you don’t have anymore room on your phone for Venmo, Messenger is an alternative, in case you don’t plan on deleting the app anytime soon.
7. Share photos instantly with facial recognition
Messenger’s Photo Magic feature uses facial recognition to make it easier to send photos to your friends. When the feature is on, the app will notify you to share photos when it detects a new picture with a friend in your camera roll. To enable it, click the settings gear icon on the bottom right, select Photos & Media and then Photo Magic, and switch the toggle on.
8. Send your location
IMAGE: FACEBOOK
Similar to dropping a pin in Apple Maps, you can send your location — or any location — in a message. Select a conversation, tap the More icon, click location, then you can search a place and send it.
9. Send GIFs
Tap More at the bottom of a conversation screen, and you’ll see a list of different apps you can install. You’ll see GIPHY as one option, and you can tap the INSTALL button, which will bring you to the App Store; download it as you normally would. Once installed, you can select the GIF icon at the bottom of a conversation to search and send GIFs directly in Messenger.
10. Customize your message threads with emoji
Change up your conversations with different people by changing the way the threads look. When you’re in a conversation, hit your friend’s name at the top of the screen, and you’ll see options for nicknames, color and emoji. The color will change the outline of icons as well as the chat bubbles.
Sony stands to lose a lot from the massive hack that continues to leak tons of documents and data — passwords, full-length films and the social security numbers of 47,000 people, including celebrities — to the public, experts say.
The company has remained mostly mum about the hack, but as Fusionpoints out, some of the Sony Pictures' history could possibly shed some light on the fact that data security wasn't always a major concern up top.
In 2007, Sony's executive director of information security said in an interview with CIOthat he wasn't willing to put up a lot of money to defend the company's sensitive information. He also talked about how he convinced a security auditor, a year before in 2006, that the company's use of very weak passwords wasn't such a big deal.
"It’s a valid business decision to accept the risk” said Jason Spaltro, who is now Sony Pictures' senior vice president of information security, in the interview. “I will not invest $10 million to avoid a possible $1 million loss."
The loss of what Sony has endured following the mysterious "Guardians of the Peace" hack is probably much, much more substantial than $1 million, however.
"I have no idea how to value the dollar cost of losing control of employee Social Security Numbers, highly confidential company documents, and of course the reputation damage from being victimized like this," Tod Beardsley, engineering manager at security firm Rapid7, toldMashable in an email.
Beardsley said he didn't want to victim-blame Sony, and that the security landscape has changed a lot since 2007. But Adrian Sanabria, a security expert with 451 Research, said companies typically have to endure a breach before they begin taking information security seriously. Even though some companies get put out of business by hacks, "there will still be that head of InfoSec bragging that he convinced auditors that terrible passwords are okay.""If it were possible to spend 10 million 2007 dollars to prevent this incident, that would have been a serious bargain.”
Sanabria told Mashable it will be the lawsuits that will be the big deal. Top-billed film stars, movie theaters, retail chains and streaming services all stand to lose out on something if people download Annie and Fury, he said.
"So many files have been leaked that this is really just the tip of the tip of the iceberg," he said.
Sony's Spaltro has a salary that tops $300,000 this year, Fusion notes. It will break $400,000 if he gets his bonus.
Foursquare, the location-based, social game-like service isn't just for checking in, racking up points and unlocking badges.
In May 2014, Foursquare split its user experience into two apps. The Foursquare team launchedSwarm, an app to help people "keep up and meet up" by checking into places, seeing who's nearby and making plans.

By unbundling the check-ins, points and badges, the company tells us they are expecting to introduce a new version of Foursquare later this summer with new, highly personalized ways of finding the best places.
Until then, we can make the most of what Foursquare currently offers. We've rounded up a list of six productive uses for Foursquare you may have never considered.

Googleis reportedly interested in offering its own Wi-Fi networks in regions where it already has itsGoogle FiberInternet and TV service, a new report suggests.
According to PC World, Google has been circulating a document that discusses the possibility of a wireless service to 34 cities that are due to receive Google Fiber service in 2015.

The news of the document comes just a few weeks after reports first surfaced that Google was looking into its own wireless service in Google Fiber areas.
Although details related to a possible wireless service weren't included, the document said Google will be “discussing our Wi-Fi plans and related requirements with your city as we move forward with your city during this planning process.”
With blanket Wi-Fi service over a large area, Google could potentially bring both voice calling and data connections to mobile devices.
In 2012, Google announced it would be bring lightning-fast Internet speeds (100 times faster than usual, in fact) first to residents in Kansas City, Kan., with Google Fiber. It has since expanded to Austin, Texas, and Provo, Utah, and will enter new markets soon.
Fleshing out its Fiber network would be ambitious but not come as a complete surprise. Considering Google already dominates with its search engine and Android mobile operating system, it's a natural step for them to want to keep all of your mobile communication within its ecosystem.
Duolingo works to add interactivity and customized lesson planning to the language learning experience by rewarding users when they achieve goals, giving incentive to return for more lessons -- something your high school's Intermediate Spanish course never did.
A powerful, customizable photo editor that's more than just filters, Pixlr Express comes packed with the ability to color-correct, blur or layer images and stickers on top of one another. Just taking up 7.2 M of memory, Pixlr Express is more than worth the small amount of space it'll take up on your SD card.

Just in time for the holidays, a new iOS app sale called App Santa is offering users deep discounts on some of the best paid iOS apps of this year.
App Santa is a collaboration between ten indie iOS developers, with each offering up to a 60% discount on their respective iOS apps. The apps in the list include several of those highlighted in Apple's own Best of 2013 list, as well as some of Mashable's picks for apps that look great on iOS 7. They are primarily productivity apps, with PDF converters, VNC clients, note-taking apps, mileage logs and password managers among the offerings.
The sale runs until Dec. 27, so if you're expecting a new iPhone or iPad this Christmas, you can still get the apps at a discount even after the holiday ends.
Here's a sample of what the App Santa sale has to offer:
Christmas has come a bit early for ardent iOS device jailbreakers. In a rather surprising move, the popular evad3rs hacker team has just released their long-awaiteduntethered evasi0n iOS 7 jailbreak.
Back in September, we heard from one member of the elite iOS hacker-team evad3rs that an iOS 7-compatible jailbreak solution was so far looking good, and soon after, it was claimed that the team may have found the final piece in the iOS 7 jailbreak puzzle. This prompted a number of reports to note that a final release could occur in the immediate future; meanwhile, members of evad3rs told the public that Apple's minor point updates for iOS 7 were safe to download and install.
But then, seemingly out of the blue, the evad3rs team has announced today via Twitter that the evasi0n iOS 7 jailbreak is now available:
Here are the requirements for the so-called evasi0n7 jailbreak, which is said to be compatible with all iOS devices running iOS 7.0 through 7.0.4:
5 minutes of your time!
A computer, running Windows (XP minimum), Mac OS X (10.6 minimum) or Linux (x86 / x86_64)
iTunes installed if you're running Windows
An iPhone, iPad or iPod running iOS 7.0 through 7.0.4 (you may check in Settings/General/About => Version)
A USB cable to connect the device to the computer
Of course, should you decide to install evasi0n7, it’s recommended that you back up your device first using iTunes or iCloud so you can recover your data in the event that something goes kaput in the process. Good luck! And happy holidays!
