Currently, the cellular module acts as the primary modem for the computer while connected. This means that all outbound connections, not just the data we're intentionally sending, will go through the connection. If for whatever reason some background process tries to connect to the internet, we could really use a lot of data unnecessarily.
The Hologram documentation suggests that it is possible to receive data without leaving a connection open. However, I have thus far been unable to accomplish this. Sid suggested that there might be a way to route these connections in the OS.
