Hi Carolynne and Lane, Thanks for the update.
Last time, when Telenor (Grameen Phone) had been tied up for zero wikipedia, they had had a close collaboration with us. However, Grameen Phone yet to launched effectively service. As you people are coming, I would rather proposed a formal launching of Banglalink zero wikipedia. We will contract with Banglalink whether they are interested to be a part of it or we will do it from WMBD. Banglalink only send press release to the media and published media add on this occasion only. I will keep you posted.
