With Wikipedia Zero, we're partnering with mobile providers in the developing world to reduce or eliminate data fees for accessing Wikipedia on a mobile phone. In March, we announced the fifth major Wikipedia Zero partnership, which means that the program will be available to 410 million mobile users around the world.
For those who dont have an Internet connection at all, Wikimedia movement contributors are enabling offline access to Wikipedia, such as the work by Kenyan volunteers who travel to rural schools and install copies of the encyclopedia on computers there. And now, there's also an open source application for Android phones and tablets that makes it easy to download and read offline copies of Wikimedia content.
The idea of enabling every single human being to freely share in the sum of all knowledge is still as audacious as ever — but it's also starting to look like an achievable goal, if we come together to make it happen. (it) |
