      Something like Amazon Sidewalk could be used by a device to send back telemetry theoretically but I haven’t heard of it actually being used for that. Connecting to an open Wi-Fi network or through some partnership with an ISPs (like Xfinity) seems like the easiest thing a device could do though.
