Free Wikipedia access

edited in General
Hey guys, so this is utterly left-field, but I think is something worth spreading. MTN recently got #neknominated - in the corporate world that's NOT downing beers, it's doing a random act of kindness. They came back with free Wikipedia access for their subscribers, which benefits education in this country immensely.

I think that's pretty damn cool, and something worth spreading to get other corporates also onboard to do something for SA's education :)

Here's an idea bit:
Heck, if wikipedia access is free, could we make wiki pages to let people play games for free on it? Like a kind of choose your own adventure... Interactive fiction... That underprivileged kids could access for free?

Thoughts for thoughts :)



(full disclosure, the agency I work at produced this work, I wasn't involved though)

  • That is really cool. I'm so glad that this whole ridiculous neknomination turned into something worthwhile.

    I think a choose your own adventure would work really well - especially a soap opera style piece. Last I heard, short stories do amazingly well as content on phones - so an episodic adventure could be cool. What about having one where people vote for what characters could do next?
