When I am at a cafe I use a web based encrypted email program, and
if I email a large attachment (say a pdf file), then it goes http outbound.
The other major outbound bandwidth use is scp (very rarely, ftp or ssh).

I do not really see what the touch typing limit is relevant to - whose primary
Internet use is telnet /ssh now-a-days ?

Again, when I go to a cafe in another city, I am generally there to
get some work done, and frequently have a bunch of previously prepared
files to send. I may not be a typical user...
