2 weeks agoIn my opinion, mobile data is extremely expensive primarily because the costs of building and maintaining the necessary infrastructure are so high. Telecom companies invest heavily in setting up and upgrading cell towers, fiber networks, and data centers. These investments are not one-time costs; they require continual upgrades and maintenance to support ever-growing data demands. Additionally, governments charge hefty fees for spectrum licenses—essentially the right to use a portion of the wireless spectrum—which further drives up operational costs. Naturally, these expenses are passed on to consumers.
The increasing popularity of data-heavy activities such as video streaming, online gaming, and social media exacerbates the situation. As our data usage skyrockets, providers must continually invest in expanding their networks to prevent congestion and maintain service quality. This creates a cycle where rising demand leads to increased expenses, which then translates into higher prices for users. Furthermore, in many regions, limited competition among service providers means there’s little incentive to offer lower prices or more generous data plans. Ultimately, I feel that while these costs might seem justified from a business standpoint, consumers are left paying the price in a market where affordable, lasting mobile data plans are sorely needed.
