I would see it more like the firewall rules. &nbsp;Something where you could set the connection (speed/type), bandwidth and application/port, but it would need to be app aware. &nbsp;Kind of like a QOS solution. &nbsp;For example, when on 3G, I want Web surfing/MSN and email. &nbsp;When at home, I don&#39;t care what my apps do. &nbsp;But if for example I had a business app and I wanted to allow it to take max bandwidth when on 3G, I should be able to allow that.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1702773" width="1" height="1">
