If they can charge for VOIP or for other things, it means there is also nothing stopping providers in India from charging for wikipedia either. The reason they haven't done it yet, is just because they haven't thought of it yet.
Due to our current activities in India, we may be in a bit of a tricky situation trying to prevent afforementioned scenario.
We'll have to see how this progresses in practice.
