The cross-country comparison study of mobile data pricing by ABI highlights that currently Hong Kong’s CSL, which launched its service in November 2011, is the world’s cheapest.
“In South Korea, SK Telecom has cut its 4G pricing to remain competitive. Their ‘LTE 62 Plan’ for smartphones used to be priced US$55.04 (RM170) for 3GB of data, but the monthly download quota has now been increased to 5GB. ABI Research has seen similar 4G mobile data quota and/or pricing revisions in Norway, Hong Kong, and the US,” said Jake Saunders, VP for forecasting at ABI Research.
At the moment, the lowest 3G mobile data tariff can be found in Singapore, where M1 offers a 4GB data plan for just US$9.62. Full story
