Have any of our India Chapters taken a position on this? Or any elsewhere?

This morning Cleartrip, an Indian startup focused on travel, pulled out of
Internet.org
<http://www.huffingtonpost.in/2015/04/15/internetorg-withdrawal_n_7071532.html?utm_hp_ref=india>,
the charity spearheaded by Facebook to help spread internet access to parts
of the world where many people lack connectivity. Three other members of
the original coalition — NDTV, Newshunt, and the Times Group — also
declared that they were pulling some or all of their services from
Internet.org due to concerns over net neutrality.
