All it matters is the actual time spent coding

False dichotomy.

If that were true, skill and knowledge wouldn't matter.

Come one, don't do a strawman. Parent is factually correct that HH project has been going on for 200 days. Nowhere was even implied that 200 working days were put into the project.

Has the refactoring of the code to separate files been done yet? The last time I saw it, it was one big file.

Assuming they are honest, I don't get their argument. If most people are paying for the internet, they why do they need Free Basics in the first place? An internet connection costs a fraction of the hardware cost, or is embedded in the hardware subscription.

So you can either afford hardware and internet, or you can't afford internet in which case you also can't afford the hardware, so the free internet is useless.

Assuming their motives are truly altruistic, making internet free doesn't make any sense!
