There is a crucial difference: Wikipedia Zero is not a general way to
provide access to the Internet for free, it provides access to parts of
Wikipedia for free through partnering carriers. Wikipedia Zero is not in
violation of net neutrality in the first place, as Wikipedia Zero is not an

To the best of my knowledge, every jurisdiction that has legislated on net
neutrality has concentrated on preventing ISPs from blocking, degrading or
charging extra for particular services; not one of them has a problem with
providers giving away certain data for free.

Hi Romaine,
In the absence of any practical description of what an office on each
populated continent would do, or what concrete organizational role it
would fulfill (other than "bringing communities together"), it seems

The internet Mr. Zuggerberg wants was nothing to do with the ideas of free

what the aim is of the Wikimedia Foundation. Our aim is to get
