In consideration of these measures, we\u2019ve decided to suspend late fees and rate increases; introduce redesigned affordable postpaid plans for residential subscribers; and offer our business subscribers options, all to help alleviate possible hardships,\u201d said IT&amp;E CEO Jim Oehlerking.  <\/p>\n<p>Residential subscribers can now pay anytime within the month without worrying about being charged a late fee. Suspension date will also move to the end of the month instead of the 22nd of the month.  <\/p>\n<p>IT&amp;E introduces the redesigned $20 wireless postpaid with more data.  IT&amp;E has increased the 4G LTE data bucket plan on its original $20 wireless plan from 200MB to 1GB.  Now, customers can enjoy more wireless high speed internet service on their mobile device at a low monthly cost.<\/p>\n<p>Eligible households are encouraged to sign up for the Lifeline Program.
