On another note, Wikipedia introduced wikipedia zero

fortnight ago. Does this include the
application's data access or Wikipedia
zero only applies when a user is using a phone browser. Hope my question is
clear.
I'm not totally clear on the question but let me make an attempt. There
are
no-data charges to your mobile phone bill when you access the mobile
version of Wikipedia through Orange..and we're still working out the
details on implementation...but probably through an Orange landing page
that takes you to our mobile web version. We're still discussing ways to
implement this with other partners that may require us to use certain
browsers like Opera but Orange does not have that browser restriction. Does
that answer your question?
So, in any event, this is *not yet in effect*, in Kenya at least, right?
