Now you missed out the second point of this discussion. People should 
know that their internet connection is going to be used. Why? bandwidth 
is costly in many parts of the world esp developing countries. A few 
MB's also means a lot. On my internet connection I am charged approx 
2USD for every 100MB I download beyond the monthly cap.
