"Today's consumers are comfortable paying bills online, downloading music to their iPod and posting videos to Facebook or YouTube, but understanding the bandwidth consumed by their favorite applications is not as easy to grasp as minutes spent on a cell phone call," said Tom Donnelly, EVP marketing and sales, Sandvine. "Using a consumption-based model, network providers can design tiers based on consumption and speed to better satisfy consumer preferences and increase subscriber loyalty."

Usage Management 2.5 is an evolution of basic quota management, delivering the flexibility and reporting features that are required by end users and network operators today.

Usage Management 2.5 capabilities:

- Flexible real-time policy control based on targeted service plan definition

- Tools that empower subscribers to better understand and adjust their service plans or top-up their quota

- Quality of Experience sensitive policies that help differentiate service plans

- Configurable billing periods and subscriber advice-of-usage communications

- Detailed network business intelligence reports that outline usage and application trends and help develop personalized service plans

"The majority of subscribers see value in receiving an increase in bandwidth when they are streaming video, uploading or downloading bulk Internet applications," Matt Davis, Director of IDC's Consumer Multiplay Services. "The more subscribers understand their needs for broadband the more they will embrace or even request personalized service tiers."
