Orange and Wikipedia, Money money money Options

[Emperor]

Orange is a French telecommunications company that has been working with the Wikimedia Foundation for some time. They claim to be providing cheap mobile Wikipedia for children in Africa, or something.

What's the deal here? We know there must be money involved somehow.

The Orange article on Wikipedia is silent, of course. Is the "community" involved in this business with Orange?

[Cino]

Hard to see this as a bad thing. To make no deal until all phone companies would be prepared to do the same thing would be unrealistic. At the end of the day it's a freebie, mobile users can ignore it.
