How does a connection become "unmetered"? It can't just be on interface type, 
as I have metered connections on all interface types, so presumably you use 
some form of web service to distinguish "metered" from "unmetered" based on a 
list of known IP blocks?

Or do you simply assume that all connections are metered until the user says 
otherwise?
