Attachment

  1. For wireless and wireline networks, explain in detail at what level of the network (how close to the customer) an ISP is capable of using technical ITMPs to manage congestion as it occurs for the duration of the congestion? For example on an individual subscriber basis, a wireless sector basis or some other local area?
  2. Explain in detail how such ITMPs would function and what are the considerations for their introduction.
  3. Describe in detail the constraints that an ISP would face in limiting the impact of the technical ITMP to a smaller area than that provided in your response to the first question.
