There seems to be a pretty big leap in logic from 'using a blockchain' to 'infeasible for anyone except google'. You do realize that an internationally roaming cell phone data plan can sync with the blockchain right?

Is $70 ludicrous because that is what T-Mobile's US plan with international roaming costs. They did that 2 years ago, I don't know what is available now.

Does that include unlimited transfer at no extra cost while roaming internationally? The blockchain is huge.

Yeah it does, which is why I said the blockchain can be synced with it.
