4gb is definitely a bug ... imagine getting 4gb per data per customer per day ..
Well to be fair to giant spying companies, it would be fairly easy to sift through data as it comes in and only keep relevant metrics in a statistics database and throw out the rest before the day is through.
For giants like LG, Samsung, etc... it would be a drop in the bucket.
Sure but that's a lot of data for a washing machine
It's still bandwidth they have to pay for, which they could have used for more useful data, like having all the TVs phone home.
