Worth thinking on the impact this can also have on Wikimedia projects when it comes to the actual knowledge dividehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_divide, mainly like Wikipedia, which aggregates knowledge in the form of a encyclopedia through reliable sources.

This reminds me the reason why organizations like Article 19http://www.article19.org/were created (private communication with a friend who worked there), where a UNESCO report from the 80's already pointed out such divide (I have to remember the name of the report).

To face this reality is a way for we try to learn what can be done in terms of metrics on our global projects.

(Although I must tell my biggest concern now is that we from the global south - or whatever you call it, maybe we could call the big fraction of the world without access to knowledge - have access to scientific and educational knowledge.)
