One concept we've toyed with is adding a "Text only" hyperlink at the top of the articles for access via mdot for Wikipedia Zero traffic only; the "text only" version would of course needs it hyperlink at the top to say "Turn images on". In either case, we haven't done this to date as I recall because it takes up more viewport space, which is already at a premium, and would add a little more clutter in any case.
