Thanks for starting this thread. Sorry if I've overlooked this, but who/what will have access to this data? Only members of the mobile team? Local project CheckUsers? Wikimedia Foundation-approved researchers? Wikimedia shell users? AbuseFilter filters? And this may be a silly question, but is there a reasonable means of approximating how identifying these two data points alone are? That is, Using a mobile country code and exit IP address, is it possible to identify a particular editor or reader? Or perhaps rephrased, is this data considered anonymized?
