Hi everyone, Grameenphone explained that they have some regulatory
requirement to set a timeline in the announcement, but they do intend to
extend the free access beyond three months. We are working with them to
expand it to m.wikipedia.org, all Wikimedia sites, and any browser, too.
I'll keep you posted.
We did get very good early results on the GP launch. They put Wikipedia on
the Opera Mini speed dial, and we're getting good page views. I'll share a
report when I get official numbers.
One other note while we're on the subject: if you have a GP phone with
Opera Mini, you'll see we tried a variation on the Wikipedia logo that has
"Zero" to set user expectations that it's not the full Wikipedia site.
We're debating that here. It's an interim thing, as we're working on better
solutions to have the full Wikipedia site available anyway. Just in case
anyone has a question or any thoughts on that -- let me know!
I hope the press coverage from Banglalink to the press event/meet up and
Grameenphone launch are helpful in raising awareness of Wikipedia and
interest in Wikimedia Bangladesh, to help you recruit more volunteers.
Munir and team have done an awesome job on PR.
Thanks so much
Carolynne
P.S. Shabab I didn't get the screenshots, can you please send to me at
cschloeder@wikimedia.org? Thanks!

Thanks Carolynne for keeping us posted.
Just a few days ago GP officially launched the WP Zero program and GP is
trying to publicize it in the media, that seems well. But Banglalink has
not made such efforts (as far as I know). Whenever I ask people randomly
about this issue, still a lot don't know. A few talked about it reminding
the GP's ad.
It's good to know that you're working with GP to make the full Wikipedia
site available under this program. Hope it will be made available soon.
