It is a mutually beneficial partnership to the Wikimedia Foundation and the Mobile Service Providers;
*To the MSP*
* Positive marketing and PR benefit to supporting the mission, and the opportunity of offering a unique service to new and potential customers
*Data we have collected at WMF shows that 28% of existing readers would be more likely to buy services from an operator that provided Wikipedia Zero.
*To the Wikimedia Foundation* *Aim is to reduce barriers to accessing free knowledge in a quest to let everyone share in the sum of all human knowledge.

I wonder which local MNO will do this first, if any?
