The Financial Post reports in its Thursday edition that high mobile bills may remain a constant irritant for Canadians who blow through their data allotments, but the unit price of data is getting cheaper in Canada and other advanced economies, according to an OECD studay released Wednesday. The Post's Emily Jackson writes that mobile prices fell between 2013 and 2016, particularly for plans with higher data allotments in advanced economies, the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development found. This lower unit price has generally led to an increase in data cap sizes across the OECD's 35 member countries, which in turn resulted in an explosion of data usage. As of last year, however, Canada remained a laggard when it comes to mobile data usage per mobile subscription. Canadians used an average 1.5 gigabytes of data per month in 2016, landing in 22nd place for usage. In Finland, which led the way, the average subscription used 11 gigabytes per month. While the cost per gigabyte is decreasing in Canada and across the OECD, this does not necessarily mean consumers are paying less, thanks to consumer preferences for plans with "higher included amounts of data, higher speeds and so forth," the report said.
