Perhaps, but the Raspberry Pi Foundation was founded on the premise of putting tiny computers in the hands of children and hobbyists. So whatever good may come of selling RPis to Vodafone, it is not the good that Raspberry Pi was founded to provide.

This is a GPUs-in-the-hands-of-miners-not-gamers situation, but I think starving the educational community is a bit more venal than starving the gaming community.
