#wikimedia zero

Wikimedia Foundation's Wikipedia Zero is going to bid farewell this year. Wikipedia Zero was created in 2012 to address the high mobile data costs globally. Wikimedia Foundation has partnered with over 97 mobile carriers in 72 countries to provide access to Wikipedia to more than 800 million people free of mobile data charges. According to Wikimedia Foundation, one of the critical issues why they are discontinuing Wikipedia Zero is that there's a low awareness of Wikipedia outside of North America and Europe, albeit there had been successes in some countries like in Iraq and Nigeria. "These successes have given us several ideas for where we may take our partnership work next, and over the coming year, we will explore other ways we can leverage the findings from our research and the Wikipedia Zero program to direct future work with partners," said the company. Infinix Mobile has announced their latest smartphones for the Philippine market - the Zero 4 and Zero 4 Plus. As the name suggests, the Zero 4 Plus packs more powerful internals such as a bigger display, more powerful CPU, more RAM and storage, better cameras, and larger battery.
