Robert, Thank you for the explanation. There's just one more thing that I'd like you to help me understand. If we choose to allow the GCM connection, what kind of traffic can we expect to have? Like I said previously, we have a very tight data plan, so if the GCM connection adds more than just a few bytes, that might be a bad idea to enable it. Also, by enabling GCM connection, what am I allowing the users to do? Can they use gtalk or something else?
