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. So here it is -- the YugaTech Ovi App for Nokia phones. Now you can read the latest entries on YugaTech straight from your own Nokia phones. The app is pretty basic and, unfortunately, doesn't have that same commenting functionality we have on the YugaTech iPhone App. Read more in our articles including "Wikimedia Foundation is dropping Wikipedia Zero" and "YugaTech Ovi App for Nokia Phones".
