Cable.co.uk summarizes the following four features from data obtained from 233 countries.
-Countries with well-developed infrastructure have low communication charges: Countries with well-developed 4G or 5G infrastructure have tended to have lower communication volumes per GB.
· Countries that rely on mobile lines have lower communication charges : Countries with little or no fixed line broadband availability rely heavily on mobile data on mobile phones. If most of your Internet infrastructure is mobile, the market is saturated and many providers compete, so market competition is likely to reduce traffic per GB.
・ Countries with low traffic have high communication charges : In countries where there is a culture where the use of infrastructure is restricted in the first place, SIM cards for smartphones can be obtained cheaply, but the traffic limit is reached in one day. It is said that it often ends up. In such countries, the amount of communication per 1GB tends to be high.
• Economically wealthy countries have higher communication charges : Wealthy countries tend to have good mobile infrastructure, adequate traffic limits, and relatively healthy markets. In addition, the people can afford to pay the amount of communication.
Cable.co.uk said, 'Many of the cheapest countries to buy mobile data fall into two broad categories. One is a country with a well-developed mobile and fixed broadband infrastructure, with a large number of providers. It can provide a large amount of data and reduce the price per 1GB of data traffic. On the other hand, in countries where broadband networks are not well developed, it is highly dependent on mobile data and economically affordable, so the price Has to be low, and in some countries the infrastructure is poorly developed and in some countries the consumption is very low. Often you buy a data package of tens of MB at a time, 1GB is relatively low. Due to the large amount of data traffic, the amount of data traffic to purchase is also high. Many countries have well-developed infrastructure, competitive mobile markets, and are not the cheapest in the world, but their consumption. It doesn't necessarily seem expensive to anyone. '
