Here, a PAYG plan is like a contract but less versatile and more
expensive. If I needed PAYG data, I'd have to pay usually GBP10
for 30 days of data, which expire and cannot be deactivated or saved.
So that would be an expensive option for me.

But mine does.
So your idea that tablets must include a cellular radio simply doesn't
suit everyone. It would be more expensive for me and give me no
benefit whatsoever.
