Kazakhstan is the leader in the ranking of countries with the cheapest mobile Internet.
According to Nambeo, the monthly expenses of our citizens are $ 11 per month, El.kz reports.
Thus, Kazakhstan ranks 74th in the ranking. Next to us are Belarus, Kosovo. However, in some developed countries, Internet prices are not so expensive at all. For example, in the UK, citizens pay 15 dollars, in Italy - 16 dollars.
In South America, gigabytes are expensive. In Brazil, they will cost $25 per month, while in Mexico they will cost $24.
In the Scandinavian countries, mobile Internet is even more expensive. For example, in Sweden it costs $28 per month, almost like in Japan.
In North America, you will have to fork out. For example, in the United States, traffic will cost $43.
The most expensive Internet in the Persian Gulf countries. For example, in the UAE you will have to pay $58 per month, which is slightly more expensive than in South Korea.
And the most expensive traffic is in Switzerland, which is associated with a high standard of living. Residents of this prosperous state pay $80 a month
In general, from the above rating, it can be understood that there is no reason to increase prices for gigabytes in Kazakhstan.
The price of mobile Internet is made up of several factors. The construction and maintenance of the network requires significant investment. In developing countries, where the creation and deployment of new networks is required, the cost of infrastructure may be higher, which may affect the cost of services.
In some remote or hard-to-reach places where traditional connections can be difficult, operators can use satellite channels to provide access to the Internet. It can be more expensive compared to conventional terrestrial connections.
If the demand for mobile Internet in a certain region is high, and the number of operators is limited, this can lead to an increase in the price of services.
Some countries may have stricter rules and licensing requirements for telecom operators, which can increase their costs and, accordingly, the prices of services.
The availability and technology used can also affect the cost of the internet. For example, switching to new, faster technologies such as 5G may require additional investment.
The general economic situation in a country or region can affect the level of income of the population and their willingness to pay for mobile Internet services.
