[Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Foundation and Saudi Telecom (STC) partner to provide access to Wikipedia free of mobile data charges in the Middle East

[Sarah]

Apologies if this is a stupid question, but I don't understand the
need for a partnership between the Wikipedia Foundation and the Saudi
Telecom Company (STC).

If STC wants not to charge its customers for accessing Wikipedia, in
what way does it need the help of the Foundation to achieve that?
