The DPS also presented adjustment plan options for monthly fixed-line fees, including possibly charging users who place and receive more calls slightly higher monthly plan fees but reducing or waiving per-call fees, while charging users who place and receive fewer calls slightly higher per-call fees, but lowering or waiving monthly plan fees.
