Dear Carolynne, Glad to know this information. Please be informed that, another biggest mobile phone operator Grameenphone also started providing free Wikipedia to their users. Its possible to browse zero.wikipedia.org from their network for free. I also hope, they will announce it shortly. Regards Safwan

Hello, I recently joined WMF to expand Wikipedia Zero and other mobile programs. We just did a quiet launch of Wikipedia Zero with Banglalink, and they are preparing to make an announcement. I would love to write a blog about Wikipedia users in Bangladesh.
I'm writing now to let you know about the launch, and also to see if someone in our community would share their story, maybe profile a group, discuss local trends, etc. I'm very open, just want to share the reader perspective on Wikipedia (and free access through Wikipedia Zero).
Please let me know if you can help
Thank you so much!
Carolynne
