It certainly is true for wireless data, but I don't think it's true
for wireline data. I believe wireline data is way to expensive here in
India. And argument that I heard in the past was - this is because
we've to pay for very expensive International bandwidth and hence the
cost, but at the moment - I believe most of the data a 'consumer' is
likely to consume - would be quite local here in India (that's just a
hunch though), Akamai is here , Youtube is here, that should take care
of most of the data anyways. So not sure why the cost is so high for
wireline data?
