Mobile Service Costs Not All That Different Across The Country
While this article focuses on which places are "the most expensive" for mobile phone service in the US, what's more interesting is the fact that the difference from highest ($45.47) to lowest ($39.54) really isn't that different. The average is actually quite close to the high: $44.13. This suggests that most areas are pretty close to that, and even the low (in Sacramento) is something of an outlier. On the whole, it sounds like no matter where you go in the US, you should expect to pay about the same -- which makes sense. These days, national plans are pretty standard across the board.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
