The study is looking at total mobile service revenue. It says so right on the graph. What makes you think they are only looking at certain plans?

- sudosysgen 5y agoAh, I got confused, that was the one from 6 days ago.
- greenshackle2 5y agoOh, yeah. That one had absurd numbers though: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27763164 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27763164 125USD per GB. Compared to 14EUR per GB on this chart. But I think you were on the right track, possibly most people have low-end plans so total revenue skews towards low end plans? But you can definitely get data much cheaper than 14EUR per GB.
- sudosysgen 5y agoWell yes, but the important thing is that it's the same methodology everywhere. It really is that much more expensive. You can get data at theoretically 0$/GB if you get an ungodly expensive truly unlimited plan, so the marginal cost isn't accurate, we have to be at or near the average, and most plans are going to be lower end.
