But the point is that in many parts of the world, you may be LUCKY to get a 28.8 connection. We are very spoiled in North America and Western Europe. The rest of the world has some catching up to do.

All the day's messages in seconds???? Sure, if you are on a broadband connection.... Then again, if I am on a broadband connection, I am paying a flat rate anyway.

An example to counter that. Having the UT available as a web service means that you download all of the day's messages (data) in seconds then view it off line thus saving internet connection time. Of course this works only if the app is local and the web service gives you data. If the app is only available while connected, that is another story..
