Keep in mind not every MB is a MB. As in, if you have a FUP, you care less for a MB than when you are roaming. Ideally, an application knows the roaming costs of the provider you are. BTW, as of now this info should be easy to get from /sbin/ifconfig ppp0 there are some Linux software for this too but they basically poll /sbin/ifconfig ppp0 every X minutes and calculate the difference. My S60 phone keeps track of this by itself. Maybe Maemo does too. Then you'd only have to parse that data.

Can we get a reset button (like an odometer trip A and B button?) so we can start counting at the beginning of our next billing cycle?
That's a function I would be too worried I'd hit accidentally if it's just on the desktop...

zerojay: In Brainstorm, you phrase your initial post as a problem, and then you have to post a solution to your problem, otherwise we can't vote on it.
