Yeah, it could. It doesn't tho. So you have to remember to force it if you want android to listen to you setting the attribute.

Ah, is the article written for other platforms who want to emulate Android in automatically limiting Hotspots on mobile plans? Then it makes sense.
That was why I wrote it yes. I wanted to know how I could ask android phones politely to avoid slamming the bandwidth on an AP that really didn't have the backhaul for everyone's photos and kept these notes in case I needed to do it again (or someone asked me how to do it.) I wasn't expecting it to be read by more than about 3 people who were trying to figure this out :)
