what Josh Lim wrote in the other threat: Hi Jens, In the absence of any meaningful alternative, what should we do then? Close down Wikipedia Zero and let the developing world languish in the dark? We talk of a "more sustainable way to bring free knowledge (which is far more than Wikipedia)”, yet

To me Josh's point in the other thread settles this argument. I can't presume to know better than the people this service is made for what is good for them. People in other cultures have values as well. They might be different than ours, but more importantly, they have to be pitted against constrai

Jens, Why do you say net neutrality has anything to do with price? It's about best-effort delivery of packets without censorship or, for example, treating packets that say "do you want to join our radical fundamentalist agnostic cell," the same way as we treat packets that say, "do you want to sub
