Measure for measure: Why network surveys don't count what counts

I don't find the web to be most important for me. My primary web use case is e-mail, which doesn't take much data. Even those who upload a lot of photos won't need consistent bandwidth. In my case, if my data gets killed, then I have to wait to read my email until I'm in WiFi range. It could be annoying if I'm on the road for a long time, but that rarely happens and I can almost always wait. If I can count on being able to have a voice conversation that doesn't drop out and where people can hear what I'm saying, and that my text messages will arrive without being forgotten, then my main uses for my phone's wireless capabilities have been met. For those who use online apps more often, or for those who actually stream on data plans, the factors are undoubtedly different. For me, it's not that critical.
