A reliable WiFi connection would probably use less battery than an unreliable 3G/4G. Acquiring and managing a signal uses a lot of energy.

I stream talk radio at work for 6 hours a day(3G/4G). I called Tech Support in January about an unrelated matter and she noted that I was an "excessive" bandwidth user. Though I did not ask, I go the impressioin that my account was flagged since she pointed it out so quickly.

I can understand their concern. Sprint has to buy that bandwidth and their profit is based on margin.
