I think this study needs more information to be really helpful. The bandwidth is really important to understand what you are paying for. 1GB of data is not worth much if it takes 5 minutes to load a webpage. In my experience this is a serious problem in some countries. A lot of modern web services have a ton of code bloat that renders them useless in environments where bandwidth is constrained, though they work fine in high infrastructure environments.

Most of the operators in India have nationwide 4G-LTE with pretty good speed.

  Conversely in the US, you can grab an unlimited plan for something like $30. The first 2GB to 15GB (depending on carrier) will have full 4G-LTE speeds. After that, you're throttled. 480p videos can have significant startup buffer with potential buffering throughout the video. That's very different from "premium" unlimited plans of full 4G-LTE regardless of usage.
