To the best of my knowledge, every jurisdiction that has legislated on net neutrality has concentrated on preventing ISPs from blocking, degrading or charging extra for particular services; not one of them has a problem with providers giving away certain data for free.

hi,
most people know some advantage of wikipedia zero and everybody can look up the advantages by just typing wikipedia zero into some search engine. as i am not sure about the answer and anyway get asked in rare cases what i think of wp:zero i guess it should be best answered on the mailing list:
is wikipedia zero illegal in some countries because it violates net neutrality? and if it is illegal or borderline according to, say, netherlands, swiss, or german law, is it appropriate to do it in countries where the law is less developed? or should wikimedia foundation apply a higher moral standard and just abstain from any activity which might be perceived as illegal somewhere?
just for the ones not so sure about net neutrality [1]: Internet service providers and governments should treat all data on the Internet equally, not discriminating or charging differentially by user, content, site, platform, application, type of attached equipment, and modes of communication.
