At least connman module will announce offline mode (airplane) and could announce if it's connected or not. Also the user can toggle offline mode from main menu subitems.
The idea of such is that modules like forecasts would monitor these signals and stop/start updates based on it. I know econnman module is broken yet (1.x API) but it will be fixed by demarchi, he is almost finished. Then people doing network-based modules should update their code to use these signals and be smart regarding connectivity.
