objections

  • objection: Sponsored data sounds expensive at scale.

    response: Investigate the Zerodata proxy for externally hosted apps and validate carrier and integration coverage.
  • objection: Will every user receive free access?
    response: The site specifies supported mobile networks in Nigeria and Kenya; verify coverage and the user's network before promising it.
