Re: Mobile broadband statistics

[Tim Hawkins <tim hawkins me com>]

This would be a great feature, can i also request that you also  
consider pay as you go subscriptions, which have a capped limit of  
both data and time, so it would be great to have a counter start tool  
that could be used to count time and usage. So users could access how  
much usage they have left before needing to buy a top up.

A manual period start mechanism that could be scheduled for contracts  
would cover both requirements.
