Not everybody has unlimited data plans. 4G can certainly handle 137 MB in speed, but that doesn't mean users want to use their data plan for updates.

- 0x0 9y agoThen at least allow it for manual update requests. Just like 99MB app installs or updates don't have a problem with 4G :)
- p0ppe 9y agoBut that should be up to the users to decide. I'll be much happier to use up 137 MB for a critical security update than 354 MB for the latest Facebook app update (version 132.0).
- jelder 9y agoThese should be exempt from data caps then.
- MikeKusold 9y agoI don't know where you fall with Net Neutrality, but you can't have Net Neutrality and updates exempt from data caps.
- gpvos 9y agoHmm, interesting. Updates, and especially security updates, can be seen as a common good. It's the only kind of thing I can think of that exemptions from data caps might be a good idea for.
