The fact that you can get 2 GB of data for $30 doesn't mean that you can get 18 MB of data for $0.27. Most people paying $30 for a 2 GB data plan are using far less than 2 GB of data.

Very true, but the fact that the author is paying a distribution fee an order of magnitude more than the $.27 seems pretty fishy.

Doesn't amazon promise delivery to anywhere in the world? These high prices might be subsidising places with crazy high data rates.
