Just that most people pay $100/mo for phone service and use 10-20gb or so (no idea) which is $10-5 a gig.

I pay 20 for 25GB in Austria. Why is it so expensive in the US? You have not even close to twice our GDP/capita. Nationwide cartel?
I’m talking (amount actually used)/(amount actually paid).

Many people have unlimited or some high limit but don’t use it all.

(It’s not entirely fair as the device can do things like text and phone calls, but if I consider my phone as a phone only I was paying $100 for about 5-10 minutes of talk time a month (used) so in a way I was spending $10 a minute. Of course the main thing people want is data. We’re probably a few years from phones with data only and no phone number at all
