That includes making sure that the eSIM is high quality (low latency, data routing in the region) and also focusing on getting the best eSIM plan to the customer - transparency, better FUP etc. So there's an element of optimisation involved here.

I also prefer local data routing i.e. I don't route traffic from US or EU to Hong Kong, they stay in your country / region.
