I just checked, and for the flight I’ll be on, it’ll cost me about 1/10 the 
monthly cost of my residential Internet service, per device.  If I want to use 
my phone, tablet, and laptop, that’s 3/10 my monthly cost for a few hours of 
terrible service.

…which you apparently think I should pay just so the software I use doesn’t 
have to deal with the offline access case.

You’re very generous with the contents of my wallet.

While on last week’s off-network trip, I tallied the number of apps on my 
tablet that were useless without an Internet connection.  It was about 75% 
before I gave up in disgust.

I decided to do that tally after being unable to move a document from one app 
to the another on the same tablet, because the receiving app only offered a 
“send it to a datacenter in Washington state” import option.

This is not progress.
