Interestingly, much higher quality internet/mobile network access seems to also be cheaper outside the US. I was kinda shocked when I heard how much some acquaintance paid for gigabit internet/ 4G mobile in Spain.

Canadian mobile networks are more expensive than the US, and are some of the most expensive in the world [1].

Yes. Internet has always been 30€ here in France, and nowadays 20€ per month for fibre. Mobile is 12€ for 50-100GB. Many people thank the EU’s competition watchdog for that, and it’s probably politically desired. It still didn’t create a Silicon Valley ecosystem, though ;)
