why do that instead of just making it so that really poor people got internet access, and then allowing them to decide how they use it?
as much as possible, we should avoid making decisions people can make for themselves.

So if all they need is IRC, Email, and Github, then that's perfect for them. Why would I let them (ISPs) decide how to bill me for the places I want to go on the internet?
So cheaper albeit restricted internet would be very welcomed by many. And if you don't want it, then don't buy it. It's just another choice.
