If the router can support eSIM, for example, which we buy at Bitrefill, it seems like we can get a local ISP connection without having to do KYC, right?

Actually I am annoyed at the ISP via GSM in my country which is expensive and has a small quota.

I hope to use Starlink but the monthly rate is still expensive, try cheaper even though the speed is limited to 20Mbps

One amazing thing I learned about (out of many) at the ecash conference

A router for sharing internet

Someone from India, living in a place with a lot of internet access problems, built a set-up where people can buy internet without having any internet in the first place. 1 sat per minute

He built a captive portal that you log into and the page says — I take ecash from this one mint, get ecash from there and paste it into this text box — you paste it in, hit enter, and you’re online

You’ve made an offline payment and voila, you're now online

There are many exciting Bitcoin developments happening but it's becoming more clear that ecash is a wholly different, complementary technology that does different things, including many things that Bitcoin can't do no matter how many upgrades it gets
