I guess that in the USA, cell phone companies are like a big evil vampire.
But by what I see I think that some cell phone companies in Europe, or at
least in Portugal, would help something like this for free. At least for
their clients, like a "CellPedia" free service.

Very true. You will remember the "Mobile

project that aims to bring Wikipedia articles (in spoken form)
to cell phones, for free (with support from governments,
corporations and foundations). This would be one way to improve
access for people who don't have access now, and fairly
uncontroversial. This is something which could be tackled by the
Special Projects committee, provided it is sufficiently open and
agile.
I beg to disagree! Asking money from foundations (money that
could be used to help the poor, or other good purposes) and
feeding this money into cell phone companies (which do nothing for
free) should be *very* controversial. We built the Internet to
rid us from the evil phone companies, not as a way to feed them.
