The purpose of this assessment is to analyze the impact a launch of a new service will have on the demand of the existing competing services.
Assessment Description:
Facebook has introduced its ambitious internet.org project in some of the developing and less developed nations. With the help of this project, Facebook aims to provide free Internet services as a progressive step to connect the world virtually.

- Do you think the Internet services that internet.org project offer are actually free?
