Hoi, Are some of our partners in Wikipedia Zero not caching already ? Thanks, GerardM
Are you asking if they have varnish caches (they do not) or if they are using some web caching on their environment (which is possible, using transparent proxies , though I do not know of providers who use them... however my mobile web ecosystem knowledge is limited)

The Wikimedia Foundation's Technical Operations team is seeking
proposals
on the provisioning of a new data-centre facility.
After working through the specifics internally, we now have a public RFP posted[1] and ready for proposals. We invite any organization meeting
the
requirements outlined to submit a proposal for review.
You have stated some technical requirements, but not the availability you would like to have. You probably want to include that you're looking for
a
tier-4 data center (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tier_4_data_center#Data_center_tiers). Is this one going to replace the Florida data center? Where are you keeping documentation these days? The information on wikitech seems to be very incomplete and outdated.
Wikitech is our best source of documentation....
Something related: While travelling in China I noticed the bad
performance
of our sites. Would it be a good idea to investigate this (lack of) performance and maybe consider a caching site somewhere in Asia? The
latency
should be much better than getting is all the way from the USA. http://www.glif.is/publications/maps/GLIF_5-11_World_4k.jpg (from http://www.glif.is/publications/maps/) gives a good idea of
connectivity by
the way.
(Employee hat) - we are starting to move some of the Asian traffic to a new caching center on the US west coast, which has helped latency. (Personal hat) - I would love to get an Asian caching center (Hong Kong or Tokyo would be my top 2 choices), but IMHO the biggest barrier to this the time and availability of people resources.
