include network-manager in a system that accounts for the data traffic in mobile connections, the user may include the contracted amount of data and network-manager in charge of displaying notices regarding the traffic data when it arrives near the limit entered by the user .

The traffic information is best displayed in graph form.

The user should have total control of data usage when using a mobile network, so I would love to have options to set a maximum limit of data used by mobile network (for a period of time like contracted mobile plans, or just the data ammount is limited, like a one-time prepaid plan). It can save a lot of money for some users, because some providers claim for a whole bunch of money for that few MBs used over the plan limit.
Also there could be multiple configurable levels, when the user gets a notification about his data usage (50-70-80-90-100 etc percent of data limit is reached).
Ther should be an option in power-managment where you can find some stats yourself about your data usage. Most probably a nice graphical view would be the best (like the one in system monitor), but with the statistics about past usage, or the ability to view the usage stats for a specified time interval anytime in the past.
As an absolute bonus, the system could compute some projections on how to usage will be at the end of the month or, when the 2 gigs left will be gone - lets say. It should be included in the graphical stats view, but the estimation could be included also in the notificitions (Like: 80% of your monthly limit reached, estimated data usage that will be left at the end of month is 8.5 GBs.)
