Dear brother Tonmoy, Please be informed that, Grameenphone has started providing zero wikipedia to its customer. It is possible to use zero.wikipedia.org at free of cost from Grameenphone network. Regards Safwan

Hi Lane, We were not involved in the setting up process. However, earlier we knew that WMF had started the process of initiating Wikipedia Zero in Bangladesh, but that was with another mobile operator Grameen Phone (which hasn't started yet). We didn't know about the partnership with Banglalink until recently.

So wait -
Did anyone from the Wikimedia Foundation talk with any of the Bangladeshi Wikipedians in setting this up? Did you guys know that this was happening?

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 use the Banglalink services and checked the Wikipedia Zero as well. It is working fine.
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.
