Thank you,
This is most helpful, the information shows abundantly clear that we lost
an audience. It shows that the decision of shutting down Wikipedia Zero has
not been a zero sum game. We may have made a political statement but it
came at the cost of our audience. It is important to realise that as always
those who make decisions like this are not bearing the brunt of their
actions.
Thanks,

It's a reasonable question, for which the

There is some data at

(not
a full analysis, highlighting just two example countries)

Hoi,
The BBC shows how dramatically expensive internet is in Africa.. For in
my
opinion local political reasons Wikipedia Zero
has terminated. That is ok
up to a point; the point being that we understand the consequences from
this action.
Given that our data is NOT local, people have to pay a premium. What are
we
going to do to compensate for expensive Wikipedia
that replaced Wikipedia
Zero? Did we study the effects or are we not interested in the
consequences
of our actions?
Thanks,
GerardM
