If I understand esims correctly, they are like a copyright license to use the hardware you already have on your phone to connect to the internet. Shouldn't the data companies just allow unrestricted access to people in war zones anyway? This is like people donating coupons to buy food that is already there.

It's a different industry but the same point of view still applies in this cartoon.
