respect to publlcador * rve submit that if any

results of the above tests should be publishcd, it shor-rld
only be the industrJ" average and not the test results for
each individual internet service provider tlspl. we would
appreciate, however, the Commission,s informing any

with

underperforming

ISP to make the

nsce$sary

improvementa in its services, subject to the concerned

ISP's right to validate the Snctings of the Commission.

With

respecr to the proposai for an tSp to prograrn its

network to cnable a subscriber to see or rnonitor his/hcr
remaining data allocation {or 'automa.tic prompt, or
"dashboard Falr Uae Poticy [fUpl"] The cost for
obtaining the technolory to enable such prograrnming is
very prohibitive, and may not be affiorded by ISps w.ith a
subscription base of less than five tlousand tS,000).
Thus, we propose, as an arlternativs to the automatic
prompt, an ISP Help Desk hot line number u.,hich u,ill
allow a sutiscriber to call hislher ISp to find our hou,
much data volume remains available to him-

Hcrc*'ith, we also wish to reiterate our prcvious submissions

on the matter, as rrell as reserve the submission of furthcr
comments should the need arise.
Thank you very rnuch.
