Agreed. I get that the mission of Wikipedia is to make information available to everyone and purposely cutting off a whole nation from their information goes against their mission. But sometimes Wikipedia should play hardball, and if the UK elected a government that wants to block Wikipedia then the people of the UK shouldn’t get Wikipedia. The people of the UK will need to elect a new government. Or get a VPN. Or both.
This is actually a problem for people in rural areas where broadband has not reached (and won’t because it’s not profitable). Cellular will be the best option they have left.
As long as the previous collections of archives are still intact. We probably don’t need all of their new spam posts in the wayback machine anyway
DSL is distance-sensitive and only works within about 2-3 miles from a switch office. It also depends on line quality and the speeds degrade based on both factors. So old rural lines that haven’t been upgraded and are long hauls on single copper are basically doomed.
