I work for a consulting firm called
Strategy&. We have been engaged by
Facebook on behalf of
Internet.org to conduct a study on assessing the
state of connectivity globally. One key area of focus is the
availability of relevant online content. We are using a the availability
of encyclopedic knowledge in one’s primary language as a proxy for
relevant content. We define this as 100K+ Wikipedia articles in one’s
primary language.
Hello Rawia,
is there any update on this project? Have you contacted Google about
similar "content availability" and "content ingestion" activities
they
conducted in the past, also related to machine translation (

I believe this resulted in;

Some interesting analysis, see p. 32-34 for the bits on us.
