Also, you have to remember that data plans are different throughout the world,
as my understanding is that in the US Data plans are capped where as in the UK,
some plans are capped and others are not. I am on an unlimited plan plus in
Europe and the UK 4 G is either here or on the way. With this in mind, Sendero
have to think about what is practical and most easier to implement as things
change all the time.
