Some more context:

1st Uber Price

1st CM Telecom Price

What is WIT ?

WIT allows any mobile phone to receive data without internet connection by receiving sms. WIT recognises if you have or not internet access and if you do not, it makes you receive the data you need via sms. We created a demo enabling the booking of a UBER cab with no internet and another one using Facebook with no internet.

I don't often comment on such things, but there's a suspicious number of new accounts commenting (only) on this post.

I think some of our friends got very excited about the project, we shared the HN link on facebook and socials. They probably created an account in order to comment, there are no fake account tho. I recognise the names :D
