when i was in romania a few years ago i saw an ad for a phone plan that was equivalent what, at the time, you had to get if you bought an iphone in canada -- about a hundred bucks a month for the highest-end download speed and data cap

in romania it was 3 euros a month and sold as a teenager's starter plan

my ex had an employee on her business phone plan who one month called his girlfriend on skype using data for at least an hour every night. that was quite a large bill.

5g, so that telcos can put an endpoint outside you house to jump the 30ft from a pole to modem indoors

so that they get to treat it as mobile internet and have even less regulation on their stranglehold services
