It took 18 months after these little kids from a town near Capetown could make their voices heard by MTN, even though the Wikimedia Foundation took up the story and letters of these school children were read online.
Trust me, its not as if they don't know they should do that, but they will just want us to punch a needle in their eyes before they wake up to act.
It can be much easier if we could get someone from the 'inside' of mtn Ghana to work out things too.
Vodafone and Tigo are also potential ones. However, I personally consider Tigo a better candidate to take that Wikipedia zero more seriously than the others.
However, whichever network we can get someone from inside to work on, or we have links there, let me know, so we can work towards that.

Think of the amount of articles folks can get online via the wiki apps by taking advantage of such free online access :-)
Greetings,
