Public bug reported:

Currently there is no way to tell when the phone is using data. This is
important when deciding whether to put it into Flight Mode, when leaving
Wi-Fi coverage, or when adjusting settings. It also makes apps seem less
responsive when they were developed by someone who has a much faster
Internet connection than you do.

These issues can be resolved by implementing the network activity
indicator. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#activity-indicator>

<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#activity-indicator>: "Therefore on
the phone and tablet only, the “Network activity” indicator, a spinner,
should be present whenever any process has used the network in the past
five seconds. Its menu should list all applications that have used the
network in the past five seconds, most recent first but updating only
once every five seconds."

(This bug report is under indicator-network initially because it covers
a similar area. I have no opinion on whether the code should be part of
the same package.)
