This is an argument in favor of KYC requirements for telcos, just that it assumes they can outsource it to banks.

This is neither KYC nor would that be relevant even if it were. The whole point is you could get traceability without a credit check just fine.

You're saying telcos should insist on a traceable source of payment, which means a source of funds which has some level of KYC. That is just KYC with extra steps.
