In most of the "Western" Countries traffic plans for mobile users cannot be significantly affected by traffic towards WMF sites. So WP0 should not be expanded to "the North".
I'm actually puzzled by the possibility for providers to ask fees to WMF in order to retain a decent quality of service .

The relationship between net neutrality and the Wikimedia Foundation has been described as “complicated” – see [1]. Considering the that the Wikimedia Foundation has a zero-rating program of its own (see [2][3]), I’m not exactly sure how much this would affect Wikimedia, whether positively or negatively. On the one hand, we could take advantage of the change by expanding Wikipedia Zero into the United States. On the other hand, that’s probably not a good idea because the program is designed to promote access to free knowledge in developing countries, where access to the Internet may be prohibitively expensive. In a developed country such as the United States, that’s not really a prioritized issue.

Hoi, With the demise of net neutrality in the USA, have their been
consideration
for the impact it may have for the services provided by the Wikimedia Foundation?
We are reliant on servers in the USA, as the quality of the service in
the
USA is no longer a given, what are the risks? Thanks, GerardM _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/
