I read once that we pay the highest rates for mobile data (or at least I think I did) in the world but I don't recall reading why. Maybe it had something to do with near-monopolies or infrastructure?

Are there any changes coming that may change this?

I do think things are getting better but not at the rate of other countries and a lot of good plans seem to be for new customers or for a limited time.
