The deal with Facebook was made not because of Israeli technological superiority but by the political arrangements. I goes like this: dude if you want some gov RD funds, gov. contracts or tax break you better take some of your business to Israel, for details google "U.S. and Israel Agree to Develop Plan to Boost Trade" By the way this so called plan it's a one way street with a loud sucking sound coming from Israel. In regard your rank on the Bloomberg Innovation Index (what's that?) I hate to pop your celebration balloon but I can't help myself because of my allergy to bragging, google: "top 100 Global Innovators" and show me one israeli company on that list.

Let's see if the BDS supporters in Sub Saharan Africa will refuse to use the service.

Where did you get that ? google: 'Israel is biggest importer of philanthropy, but exports? Not so good" or "Israel ranks low in international giving" ,... Sorry to pop your bubble but the Israelis are good at bragging not giving ,... By the way they need water and some food not cell phones and internet ,...
4. Can we get it here in New Zealand?
Marty ,   AKL   (10.31.15)
Because there is little competition and the lines belong to an American monopoly, we are paying for a basic slow connection roughly $ 90 per month. Kiwis take it the way it is because other companies collude to charge the same.
5. I think they will use the free Internet to call for BDS .
T-900   (10.31.15)
With our luck, it just makes sense . Well either that or something like: "Book Haram uses new Internet provided to it by Israel to kill Palestinians in the sub-Sahara continent! "
6. And what happened to BDS?
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (11.02.15)
Toyota hires Israeli firm to fix 250,000 recalled cars, Israel keeps growing mightier and more profitable while her critics, the vocal monkeys think any one will exclude the only successful non oil producing democratic ME nation on earth, Israel. BDS another flop A rino baby !!

25,600 Toyota cars to be 'repaired' in Israel not 250.000 - This so called repair means a replacement of the driver side window’s electric switch that's a few minutes of work for someone who knows how to use a screwdriver, that you make it look like a moon landing, idiot ,... http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4718843,00.html
8. to the Polish pinhead

If "anyone" can fix it with a screwdriver as you say, I'd suggest you put your genius reptilian Polish gray cells to good use. It's interesting that you'll Always find a reason to attack Israel, denigrate or trivialize Israel and attack any or every achievment Israel has produced while you claim you aren't jealous and you aren't anti-Semitic. Doesn't sound very credible to me since you Always brag with Polish inventions, while the Israeli ones, that far outnumber the Polish ones, largely go unnoticed by you. You glorify Polish achievements while Israel's achievements are a sign of "boasting" - right? So it's not about achievements - it's about what ethnicity makes the achievements - right?
9. Free Internet for Africa but not for Israel?
(11.03.15)
Really? So we Jews don't matter? Always give handouts and gifts to the gentiles while ignore your own countrymen back home? I just wish that Jews could show the same level of nobility to their Jewish countrymen as they show to non-Jews. This free Internet, will no doubt be used by Internet users in Sub-Saharan Africa, and might be used by terror organizations that incite violence against Jews and Israelis.
