This list is - as of now - pretty useless and more likely an “occupational therapy“ to keep engaged people busy while ignoring them.

For month many experts here gave the foundation the clear advice to do something against the massive violation of net neutrality by Wikipedia Zero.

Obviously the foundation doesn't even care. The ignorant and plain wrong public remarks on net neutrality by a board member of the foundation at Wikimania and the press release by Erik which was full of PR-speak, but offered no solution to the problem at hand showed that this list is used for nothing by the actual people in charge at the foundation right now.

Many people on this list were trying to find an “internal“ solution for the Wikimedia Movement for respecting net neutrality - Wikipedia Zero in its current form isn't. Representatives of the foundation told people on this list that the foundation would work on a solution and that we should be a little patient...

Now the foundation will have to handle a more public criticisms of its ignorant behavior towards net neutrality. Journalists, activists and digital rights organizations around the world already took notice about this questionable behavior.

It's one thing to encounter a fight with the community on e.g. Media Viewer (for which I'm pro btw), it's a totally different thing to violate principles which are more important than Wikimedia, because they effect the whole web. Being the 5th biggest website brings a certain responsibility when it comes to reflect and defend important aspects of a free and open web. Ignoring them when it comes to brand marketing is the opposite of taking this responsibility.
