For the rest of us, a WMF with more money. That's my take on it. @Bramfab: for a member of the community that uses Orange, I’d presume a more accessible, perhaps faster, way to get mobile Wikipedia content.

I was just reading up some info about somewhere that I'd visited in Rome, when I had a great idea for a mobile app. I coincidentally then found this news item on wikimedia! The future is indeed bright! Exciting times... Fantastic news!

We know Orange has a strong footprint in parts of Africa so that's another reason why they're a great strategic fit. Maybe in the near future...

Key to Orange I would guess is getting the Wikipedia logo on their phones, but I'd hope they're going to put Wiktionary on there too. Wikinews? Well, we're still struggling to reach the critical mass of contributors that sees 20-odd stories out the door a day. I can see this being a very interesting development.
