If it didn't connect automatically a lot of people would complain that
mobile data isn't working.
We live in a connected world and most people expect to be connected by
default.
It should connect by default but be easily disconnectable however roaming
should
be disabled by default as that may be very expensive.
Data should also be easily to disable in the network indicator.
I haven't tried the version Bill mentions but I expect that is what I'm
thinking about.
