"We're very happy VimpelCom is joining us in removing a major barrier to accessing Wikipedia on mobile phones. This partnership is an important step forward in our mission to bring free knowledge to everyone on the planet," said Kul Takanao Wadhwa, Head of Mobile with the Wikimedia Foundation. "In conjunction with VimpelCom, one of the largest telecommunication providers in the world, we're now able to expand free access to Wikipedia in more countries. With this partnership, Wikipedia Zero is now available to 330 million mobile users around the world."
Impressive, kudos to Kul. Who's next? :) Also, it's nice that all partners but the first are using m.wikipedia.org and not their custom version. I'm looking forward to the stats to measure increases in reach; those we had so far suffered from the limited numbers.
