Zero-rated access to Wikipedia will end in 2018

The Wikimedia Foundation has announced that zero-rated access to Wikipedia will end in 2018, which was part of the Wikipedia Zero partnership programme.

Wikipedia Zero was created in 2012 to address high mobile data costs when accessing the service.

Terrible click-bait heading, man I hate these.

Hmmm...bit of a clickbait title. Access will still be free. The mobile/cellular ISP's however will no longer be able to zero-rate the data required to access the website from a phone/cellular device.
