Today we’re excited to announce a new partnership with Telefónica, one of the largest telecommunications companies in the world. Telefónica will be working with the Wikimedia Foundation to increase the reach and accessibility of free knowledge for millions of their customers. Through their mobile, IPtv, broadband, and other platforms they will soon begin to provide fast and innovative access to educational information from Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects.
Telefónica has a particularly strong presence in Latin America, a part of the world experiencing an incredible rise in access to the internet, and a place where we hope to see considerable increases to our free knowledge materials.
Over the course of this three-year partnership we plan to jointly develop new approaches to sharing Wikimedia project information, particularly through Telefónica’s very large base of mobile subscribers. Telefónica has also expressed a strong interest in working with local chapters to support local outreach and education activities. Last year they supported Wikimania in Buenos Aires.
