In October 2017, a cooperation with the Wikimedia Foundation that had already begun on September 29, 2017, was announced, which was intended to provide customers with free access to Wikipedia and its sister projects, so no data volume would be charged for connections for this purpose.[2][3][4][5] The cooperation was part of the Wikipedia Zero project, which was discontinued by the Wikimedia Foundation in February 2018.[6][7][8] Accordingly, the existing agreement with Roshan expired on December 15, 2018, without renewal.
