Americans Pay more for Wireless / Cell Phone Service
Posted in General News, Tech on August 13th, 2009 by Jahos – Be the first to commentIt’s pretty much a fact. The OECD, a group that calls for “fairness” in economics worldwide conducted some studies. Each of these included both low, med, and high cell usage from voice, mms, and sms messages.
And the biggest loser is? America. Yup, getting screwed by the man yet again.
In my travels I’ve been to several countries where they provide pay-as-you go service. There is no “activation” fee or any other BS charges associated with the line. In taiwan for example they have cell phones that accept multiple sim cards and a normal user of data/voice the average cost is about 10 bucks per month.
