Hi XiaoGuo,

Thanks a lot for your code. It is very simple and self explanatory to go
through and understand. I was very excited to test it on my phone, since
for applications knowing whether you are on 3G or Wifi really helps them be
smart about their network usage. A common example, is a Podcast app
(Podbird) not automatically downloading new episodes if it detects users
are on 3G. Is this possible? Can we detect if the user is on 3G or Wifi? I
assumed that limitedBandwith would be the property for this case, but it
always shows "bandwidth not limited" regardless of whether I'm on 3G or
Wifi (tested on krillin & nexus4).

If the Ubuntu.Connectivity developers are reading this email, please
provide an insight as to what "limitedBandwidth" is intended to cover.

Cheers,
Nekhelesh
