I came across a headline today mentioning that accessing Wikipedia in
Asia from a mobile phone is now free. A misleading headline, but it
pointed to a project to partner with mobile carriers to allow free
access to Wikipedia.
Here are some links about the project:

It would be wonderful to implement with the carriers here. Does anyone
have contacts that could be approached with the idea?
