A new analysis into the amount people pay for mobile data has found that India has the cheapest prices worldwide
Data journalist covering technological, societal and media topicsFor smartphone users fond of heavy streaming, mobile data doesn't always come cheap. In fact, the cost of a gigabyte of mobile data varies hugely between countries. UK-based price comparison websiterecently released an extensive analysis of mobile data pricing across the globe which focused on 6,313 data plans across 230 countries. India was named the cheapest country for one gigabyte of data with the average cost in U.S.
Zimbabwe is the most expensive country for data where a gigabyte averages $75.20, 289 times as much as in India. The following infographic provides an overview of pricing in 15 selected countries with noticeable differences immediately apparent in Europe. While a gigabyte of data would set Italian smartphone users back $1.73, the same amount would cost $2.99 in France, $6.66 in the United Kingdom and $6.96 in Germany. Costs are even higher in North America where they average $12.
Even though South Korea has been a trailblazer in exceptional mobile infrastructure and lightning fast internet for years, its prices are still quite hefty at around $15 for a gigabyte of mobile data. Smartphone users in Seoul are still better off than those in Switzerland where costs are in excess of $20. Commenting on the worldwide rankings, Dan Howdle, a consumer telecoms analyst at cable.co.
