We can start with below knowledge and added to be a fruitful discussion
Existing definition.
Where the operator offers different packages with a certain number of calls and/or SMS messages included, the cheapest one on the basis of 70 voice minutes and 20 SMS per month (i.e. with a 30-day validity) should be selected. If instead of a pay-per-use plan a package is selected for the whole basket (e.g. a bundle including 100 minutes, 50 SMS and 100MB) or for some of its elements (e.g. a package including 100 SMS), it should be indicated in the notes.
To be collected
Bundled mobile broadband, high usage bundle (140 min, 70 SMS, 1.5 GB) Please provide the broadband tariffs in national currency of the ISP with the largest market share (as measured by the number of mobile-cellular subscriptions). If prices vary between regions of the country, provide the tariffs that apply to the largest city. The tariffs should represent the cheapest available plan meeting the criteria of the basket (140 min, 70 SMS, 1.5 GB) and a minimum mobile-broadband speed of 256 kbit/s. Taxes should be included.
i271mb_Opf - Data-only mobile broadband 1.5 GB, operator Name of the operator providing the plan selected for data-only mobile-broadband basket with 1.5 GB.

On this occasion, we believe that it is extremely important to conduct a detailed study that can produce a meaningful methodology that takes into account the tremendous developments in the telecom markets, and the pricing method that companies provide to services. In this context, we would recommend that ITU collects prices of the following from dominant operators in each country:
- Bundle tariffs combining mobile, SMS and handset-based data
- Bundle tariffs combining voice and SMS
The bundle tariffs can be collected based on a set of common criteria which are similar to the criteria used for the data collection of existing services. Such criteria would need to be developed with the workgroup if this proposal is accepted.
