Public bug reported:
A few years ago the assumption that GSM data is expensive was true. On
the other hand, even today the assumption that all WiFi data is free is
not true.
In some countries GSM data (LTE or whatnot) is not limited at all any
more (or capped really high), in others, however, even WiFi is capped
still. And then there's roaming, where you might want to be on GSM data,
but not waste it - even if your original data plan is high.
I'd like to propose that we think about allowing users to set their data
preference per-connection (with current defaults of GSM limited, WiFi
not), so that apps and system services can reliably ask the system
whether they should be considerate on the current connection or not.
