Suppose a billion mobile phones wanted to run SPV wallets tomorrow. Who=20
would provide the nodes they would need connect to? The decentralization=20
fairy?

There's absolutely no reason that paying for connectivity would be any=20
more confusing or annoying than transaction fees are.

If some full nodes in the network started offering paid connection=20
slots, that would just mean that users who checked the "pay subscription=20
fee" box in their wallet configuration would have an easier time=20
connecting than the users who did't, just like how your transaction=20
might eventually get mined without a fee but paying one makes it faster=20
and more probable.
