In an effort to find a bit of context, here's some information on when Facebook & co. brought Internet to India. And here's an article on Zuckerberg's announcement to the UN that brought this all about.

Hell yeah, Internet via lasers on a drone is insane. I'm skeptical about the motives. Just ensuring more people have access to their media is what I'm reading - not to say "leave them in the dark"; rather, this is an odd way to go about it. Without their own infrastructure to build upon, how are they supposed to build up? This looks more to be a technological crutch in the long term, from my eyes.
