[Wikimedia-l] Internet.org and Wikipedia Zero ?

[Leinonen Teemu]

Hi, 

Have you noticed the new internet.org initiative by Facebook, Samsung, Nokia, Qualcomm, Ericsson and MediaTek? 

"Internet.org is a global partnership between technology leaders, nonprofits, local communities and experts who are working together to bring the internet to the two thirds of the world’s population that doesn’t have it".[1, 2] 

Would it make sense for the WMF's Wikipedia Zero program to collaborate with this? 

Any comments?

Best regards, 

	- Teemu
