They just announced transition to using the Mainnet token on August 9th. That should allow you to pay for data use on the go without a prepaid subscription. You would then pay with the real MASQ token that you hold on the browsers wallet (as soon as you reach a certain threshold level of data usage).

i have to check again what exactly they have put behind the premium subscription. It is true, some features are only available if you pay for a premium subscription.

Whats special about MASQ beside the multiple hops and the decentralized mesh network, is that in the final stage, it will be completely hidden in TLS traffic, in data packets that mimic an online game or something else unsuspicious. So it is not detectable. And you would have to censor standard TLS encrypted internet completely if you wanted to prevent people from using MASQ. Thats the beauty of it. 

And to be safe to be attacked as a registered compay they "created a non-profit
offshore foundation called the Digital Freedom Foundation to safeguard the MASQ Network protocol and keep it open".

I hope everything works out as planed and MASQ becomes the privacy tool that can't be stopped.

The coming saturday is some kind of a big day. First time it will actually run with its mainnet (base) token.
