Tmobile binary subscription changes

Tmobile now requires all content providers to report monthly, on a per short code basis, how many binary subscriptions they have, and how many content downloads were completed. Tmobile reservers the right to audit these numbers and shut down short codes should there be any discrepencies.

Tmobile is normally charging $0.50 per WAP Push message. However, they will not charge this amount as long as the number of WAP Push messages sent per month per subscriber is lower than 'Premium Price' divided by 0.05. Example: a monthly subscription is offered at $0.30. The max. nbr. of content download messages allowed is $0.30 / 0.05 = 6 messages.

In order to avoid abuse, Tmobile now requires all content providers to report the number of content downloads to ensure that the number of content downloads per premium transaction falls below the maximum.

I'm a little confused by your example. Do you mean that so long as you don't send the subscriber more 5c WAP Push messages than the monthly cost of your service then they don't get charge 50c by T-Mobile?
