Clearly xe isn't writing for wikinews often enough. (side note: is there a PR/Marketing review cycle for such blog entries?) I'm fairly sure WMF has already been swatted a bit about the (not) net neutrality issue. This is one of the issues with the Chilean discussion as well. The entire Wikipedia Zero initiative is, in fact, tailored to get a major NGO to work against net neutrality. Look at the partners. Facebook? really, Facebook? Facebook actually using the *same language*, Facebook Zero? I understand the goal, but imo the cost to WMF's brand and goodwill has been ENORMOUS and is growing. Unfortunately I expect the Advocacy Advisory opinions regarding this topic are too little, too late, and viewed as irrelevant. Amgine
