Technically this means limited-data mobile connections should be the best in the world, because the carrier has an incentive to build good infrastructure?
Let me check. IPv6? Nope. Public IPv4? Nope. HTTP interception proxy? Check! Peak bandwidth? Only a handful of mbps over LTE. And this is in markets like the UK and France where there is supposedly “competition”.
This model doesn’t work, the carriers will still do the bare minimum that they can get away with.
