Decentralized peer to peer internet, powered by a network of cell phones and other devices. For this to work it likely needs to use middle-out compression.
The internet is already decentralized and cell carriers don’t want consumers with control over the modems (for many reasons including avoiding this particular scenario.)
Look at what’s happened with the TV whitespace ISPs. There’s just no way unless something radical happens with the FCC.
Trying to achieve this task via the API is also problematic, accessing the segment is equally slow.
It would be quicker to just go through the entire list - but the member records don't yet have access to the GDPR fields/flags.

I've got a similar Elitebook myself, though a i5 Ivy Bridge with 16GB RAM, and it is a nice machine albeit chunky and heavy.
I also run OS X on it, and it copes very well for a machine that cost ~£200 refurbed - I do sometimes find myself wanting a proper MacBook, but I really find it difficult to justify the cost of them, even used.
