You're absolutely right, not sure why you're being downvoted. As I said, I get that the cost is a function of GDP, so the cheapness is kinda expected. Though I'm doubtful that the driving force behind broadband costs is labour, so I'm not sure why the costs are a function of GDP. Even with the ability to string cable everywhere at will.
But I still expect that the tech would work better in a developed country.
Maybe all those NIMBYs objecting to mobile towers near schools are the problem.

The primary motivation for companies is profit. Broadband and mobile data prices are high because customers can afford to pay for them and they do.
