Wikimedia sees [0] zero rating as a temporary step to spread knowledge in impoverished areas until costs can come down in those regions. They otherwise [1] do support Net Neutrality: > We support net neutrality, and believe it is crucial for a healthy, free, and open Internet. They defend Wikipedia Zero by pointing out it's not a commercial program, > These principles are designed to balance the social impact of the program with Wikimedia’s other values ... > We believe that free access to public interest resources can be provided in a manner that keeps the playing field level and avoids net neutrality issues. The Internet has tremendous potential to bring education and services to people for free The point is that adhering to net neutrality in impoverished areas would not abide by their goal of bringing knowledge to all areas of the world, while they can support it in more well off areas since it's an important aspect of the internet.
