 We should investigate and write a design document for a bandwidth control
 port interface for Tor on Android devices. Ideally in a manner that might
 be useful on iOS as well.

 Ideas that could be worth taking into account:

 - Only download certain objects when we have "good" internet connectivity?
 - Should we listen to online/offline information from the platform? Could
 this be used to isolate users and make them unable to connect to the
 network?

 Some documents that might relevant for Android:
