It's a reasonable question, for which the Wiki-research-l mailing list (CCed) might be a better venue.

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

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, GerardM
