Contacted to a Specialist, Strategy & Projects, CEX of Grameenphone. GP Confirmed that, they DIN'T launch any Zero access for Wikipedia. If there is something, GP is not liable for its better or worse services.

Forgot to mention, Banglalink has started pushing out service alerts to it's subscribers. I received a SMS on my Banglalink number (on 27th and again today) says-

Hello Everyone.
Sorry for joining a little late. Schedule got busy lately.
Idea of press event sounds great! I ditto with Carolynne, due to highly competitive position in market, joint press event sounds distant from possibility. But in fact we can shift this limitation to a powerful advantage. If we can manage a fairly good coverage in the media with Banglalink, glorifying their nobility and social responsibility by supporting our cause, I guess the other competitors will launch their services sooner than later, just to catch up.
We can take Facebook Zero as an example. GP has started this service for a long time. but due to lack of proper promotion, this message didn't reached to the mass until recently. And when it did, Banglalink also started the same service just a few weeks back.
So, let's rock the press event!
Best,
Shabab Mustafa
