For Telcos making a deal with Wikipedia isn't about money, it's about bringing people to use their data-services. The moment you wanna check one of the ressources linked in WP you have to pay for it. (see also example with Twitter/external Links from South Africa)
Therefore coops with WP Zero is covered by the marketing budget of the Telcos. It's the same principle like giving cinemas cheaper rental prices in shopping malls. People coming for the movies, but they will also do some shopping/dining in the center.

If not, the Telcos are making a loss.
Does someone know if costs for Wikipedia zero-rating have been big enough for any ISP to make it to a line or footnote in their financial statements?
