Yep. Good connection is rare in the outlands in most cases. I live in =
between places, so I often rely on my phone=E2=80=99s internet. In fact, =
it should always be considered that people may have rare/bad internet =
access - but still want to contribute.

For instance, I spent about two weeks in Kenya. Internet down there is =
like 10kb/s. And Kenya is one of many countries with a bad internet =
connectivity.

Just my two cents.=
