MunirRegardsI will keep you posted.As you people are coming, I would rather proposed a formal launching of Banglalink zero wikipedia. We will contract with Banglalink whether they are interested to be a part of it or we will do it from WMBD. Banglalink only send press release to the media and published media add on this occasion only.Last time, when Telenor (Grameen Phone) had been tied up for zero wikipedia, they had had a close collaboration with us. However, Grameen Phone yet to launched effectively service.Hi Carolynne and Lane,Thanks for the update.

I use the Banglalink services and checked the Wikipedia Zero as well. It is working fine.Dear Carolynne,
Thanks for informing us. Welcome to Bangladesh. It would be great opportunity to meet you. We will contact you about the meeting date and time.
I have a personal opinion that, when i try to open the site, http://zero.wikipedia.org it redirects to http://en.zero.wikipedia.org. But i believe it would be better if it redirects to http://bn.zero.wikipedia.org. Banglalink is a mobile service provider in Bangladesh so if the default site goes to the Bengali Wikipedia then it would be more helpful for the local users. At the same time it will help us to promote Bengali Wikipedia to all the subscribers of Banglalink.
