สวัสดีทุกท่าน
Wikipedia Zero ไม่ใช่เรื่องใหม่ บางท่านอาจได้ยินมาหลายปีแล้ว ได้ยินมานานพอๆ กับเรื่อง 3G, 4G
อย่างไรก็ดี อยากให้เราหวนกลับมามองทางเลือกนี้อีกครั้ง เมื่อต้นทุนอุปกรณ์ในการเข้าถึงอินเทอร์เน็ตผ่านเครือข่ายโทรศัพท์ถูกลง และผู้บริการในไทยมีความพร้อมมากขึ้น...
Wikipedia Zero คือการที่เข้าถึงวิกิพีเดียผ่านเครือข่ายโทรศัพท์เคลื่อนที่ได้โดยไม่มีค่าใช้จ่าย ดูเพิ่มที่ http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Zero
ปัจจุบันในหน้าเว็บเขียนว่าประเทศไทยมีให้บริการแล้วผ่าน DTAC ตั้งแต่ October 11, 2012 โดยต้องเข้าใช้ผ่าน zero.wikipedia เท่านั้น และเข้าใช้ได้ฟรีทุกภาษา http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Mobile_partnerships#Where_is_Wikipedia_f...
ใครเคยทดลองใช้แล้ว ได้ผลดีไม่ได้ผลดีอย่างไร ช่วยแลกเปลี่ยนข้อมูลกันด้วยครับ และถ้าหากเป็นไปได้ จะขยายการเข้าถึงให้ครอบคลุมไปยังเครือข่ายอื่นหรือโดเมน m.wikipedia ได้ไหม
ด้านล่างผม FWD ข่าวในอินเดียมาให้ดูว่าเขาไปกันถึงไหนแล้ว
