The Internet market in India already has 300+ million users, and has been growing at a good pace. It's hardly an incipient market. And besides, before AOL there was CompuServe (and Minitel, in France), which did provide access almost exclusively to its own services.

CompuServe never had the volume and appeal FB has today. Minitel is a good reference because it is widely credited as one of the reasons France initially experienced slow internet uptake.
