> Organizations that do not qualify for free usage can contact our team to learn about creating a subscription for providing Perma.cc to their users. Pricing is based on the number of users in an organization and the expected volume of link creation.

If pricing is so much that you have to have a call with the marketing team to get a quote, i think it would be a poor use of WMF funds.

Especially because volume of links and number of users that wikimedia would entail is probably double their entire existing userbase at least.

Ultimately we are mostly talking about a largely static web host. With legal issues being perhaps the biggest concern. It would probably make more sense for WMF to create their own than to become a perma.cc subscriber.

However for the most part, partnering with archive.org seems to be going well and already has some software integration with wikipedia.
