Megafon generates income on Wikipedia
Ilya Rudomilov, Webplanet.ru
A new section
has opened on the WAP portal of the MegaFon mobile operator called "Wikipedia". The operator resolved not to create its own encyclopaedia, preferring instead to use the content of the
Russian version of Wikipedia, only making a WAP gateway to access it. Subscribers can read and edit the worldwide encyclopaedia using their telephone. What is interesting is that access to the WAP site, through which access to Wikipedia is achieved, is a chargeable service, and the subscriber also has to pay for the WAP traffic from his telephone.
