What I'd be intrested to see.
You maay have the largest plan for sweeden.. but do you roam when you go to the UK? even if not.. all of Western Europe is ~1/3 the size of the US and has 1/3 MORE people
comes out to be:
Western Europe | 514 people/mi^2 United States | 86.5 people/mi^2
Basicly it takes 5 times the area to hold the same numebr of people - asume population was evenly spread (i know it isn't) it should cost 5 times as much to provide for the same number of people..
"Average US plans cost $52.99 per month compared to an average of $10.95 in Finland."
Assume the Finland price for all of western Europe - and we pay 5x the cost for something 5x as expensive to provide..
People don't realize how large the US is.. and that most plans now days there is no roaming from sea to sea.. thats alot of area to provide for..
Does not compute. Finlands population density is 17,5 people/km^2 USA population density is 30,8 people/km^2 so what youre saying is, cause the U.S is twice as densely populated, Finland is 5x cheaper.
