* US $30 a month for 20/30Mbps in cities.

* Wireless data can be spotty in rural areas due to many hills and mountains. We would need an MVNO for rural areas coverage, as it wouldn't be cost effective for the four mobile networks to place a tower in every rural corner.

* Wireless coverage in cities was limited/overloaded for about 5 years due to lack of new frequencies. This was a regulatory issue fixed about 2 years ago and wireless service is finally improving

* Some companies stopped providing wired service in rural areas about 15 years ago due to copper theft. Not sure if this has improved

Doesn't sound great. I assume that cash is still king, especially in rural areas?

The informal system (50% of the workforce) is mostly cash based, while those who have 'formal' jobs get paid in bank accounts which usually include debit cards.

Payment in food stalls and small businnesses is mostly cash.
