The price of 500 MB of data for your mobile around the world

price data

Today, almost half the population has access to a network type 3G or 4G , a more extensive coverage 5 times that are 5 years. Unfortunately, all mobile networks are not equal, especially regarding the price .
According to a report by the International Telecommunications Union, which measures the monthly cost of 500 MB of data, the developed countries are the proud owners of the cheapest in the world networks. Well, almost. While Austria arrives at a price of $ 4.70 per month, the donkey cap returned to the United States, with a stunning $ 85 per month. ITU calculates the monthly price as a percentage of gross national salary, disparities are so much of the market itself.
The Economist emits the hypothesis that the high price of the United States is due to the presence of only two legitimate operators, AT & T and Verizon, which should cover the whole country.
An interactive map is available at this address . For the record, the price of 500 MB in France was calculated ... $ 13.80 per month!
