This is a clear violation of net neutrality principles, but it&#x27;s also clearly a good thing for the Iraqi people. How do those in the hard-core NN tent square that circle?<p>To sidestep any straw-man arguments about war zones, different country, etc; What if this were implemented in Appalachia to give access to wikipedia to the poor an uneducated there?

Wouldn&#x27;t net neutrality supporters be enraged because all data is not being treated equally now? Upstart wikis will never be able to compete!

So how long till someone makes a VPN that uses Wikipedia edits as the underlying communication channel? The latency would be on the order of seconds but the throughput would be decent.<p>To those of you who think I&#x27;m joking, it&#x27;s already been done with DNS lookups so why not here too?

Does this mean users of this thing will not be able to substantially edit wikipedia, because they won&#x27;t be able to cite sources ?<p>Or check sources ?<p>Because if they get free access to wikipedia <i>only</i> that would be the case.<p>If, on the other hand, only people who are already subscribers don&#x27;t get their wikipedia traffic counted, then that seems a small improvement at best.

Meanwhile in People&#x27;s Republic of China, a peaceful (as in not troubled by war) country, People&#x27;s access to Wikipedia still depends on the mood of those in power...

I would much rather see devices fitted with full dumps of the text content of Wikipedia(s). The english Wikipedia is just 60 Gigabytes for heaven&#x27;s sake!

&gt; Wikimedia recognizes the user is on that operator&#x27;s network and serves a banner on the top of the page indicating free data courtesy of their mobile operator, which reinforces a positive brand experience for the operator.<p>I would like to know just how different Wikipedia Zero is. Can people still make accounts and contribute articles with this service?

Is invading them not enough? Does the US have to force an encyclopedia of Lord of the Rings trivia on them too?
