Free basic mobile Internet is a concept where people can have free unlimited Internet access through their SIM card, although at a very limited speed.

In the last few years, the prices for the same mobile data have been falling down to a fraction.

Soon, there could possibly be a basic free low-bandwidth mobile Internet access for everyone with a SIM card.

Probably, South Korea (world's digital infrastructure kings) will get that first. Then, the rest of the world will slowly follow along.

AT&T and T-Mobile offer 64kbps internet via cellular, although it's mostly for M2M uses.

I have one, it's $25 a year for a 64kbps connection. That's enough to send simple data and talk to mail servers, but that's never going to work with today's craptastic heavy websites.
