Description
There should be a setting called "Bandwidth Costs Money" on the same Settings screen as "Advanced Interface" and "'Safe' Package Filter" (neither of which are implemented currently) that turns on the following modifications:
1) When on EDGE, background updates are only launched if the previous update was less than some reasonably determined time window. I'd prefer this to be thought through to be a sufficiently amoratized time window that we don't have to provide a setting to the user for this, but maybe that won't be possible.
2) When on EDGE, the WebKit? views are configured to use local cache data by strong preference, thereby minimizing the amount of frivilous bandwidth wastes by the various "online" components of the application. Again, maybe a URL cache needs to be kept and a reasonably defined time period is used to force an update occasionally.
