November 1, 2013Average mobile Internet data rates in the world’s 20 cheapest markets dropped 17.7% on average from 3Q 2012-3Q 2013, according to a new report from ABI Research, driven lower in the main “by fierce competition and increased network capacity 4G roll-outs.”
ABI estimates that 38% of the lowest priced data plans worldwide are 4G tariffs. That compares to 21% a year ago, according to ABI’s “Mobile Data Price Tracker.”
