Regarding the reported 11 million Optus customers who are disconnected in Australia at the moment, I went looking for an app (android in my case) designed to share an internet connection (or leech off someone who is sharing theirs.)
Eg. If I had a working Telstra 4G/5G internet connection and was willing to share it with other phones/laptops/devices that were looking for an internet connection, via wifi/bluetooth/perhaps even 4G/5G. Eg. If I knew that Optus was down and I had a working internet connection and was willing to 'seed' it to say a maximum total of 20 'leeches', 100kbyte/sec each (and/or total 500kbyte/sec), throttle each when 50megabyte hit down to 5kbyte/sec each, disconnect at 100megabyte each let's say.
SmartMesh and RightMesh seem to be nothing-burgers to be quite frank, and searching for 'peer to peer internet' on the google play store didn't show anything suitable as best as I could find. Too many search results that claimed to be able to do this sort of thing involved tokens. It shouldn't require monies just to use it! It should be free for anyone to seed or leech as they want. (Any transaction for priority should be btc settled anyway, not some token.) Ideally it would also allow peer-to-peer data rather than just internet sharing (mesh network) but one thing at a time I guess.
