If they (and every public body doing the same move) now start donating 50% of their previous costs to the FOSS projects they, that would most notably put mozilla in a much better position to not have to bow to google money and go down the route they did lately.

> This paper presents an empirical investigation of how eSIM adoption affects user privacy, focusing on routing transparency, reseller access, and profile control. We first show how travel eSIMs often route user data through third-party networks, including Chinese infrastructure, regardless of user location. This raises concerns about jurisdictional exposure. Second, we analyze the implications of opaque provisioning workflows, documenting how resellers can access sensitive user data, proactively communicate with devices, and assign public IPs without user awareness. Third, we validate operational risks such as deletion failures and profile lock-in using a private LTE testbed.
