Why mobile data prices aren’t coming down faster

If the government released spectrum to mobile operators, the price of mobile data would come down faster.

Spectrum is an excuse for opportunism. Definitely not the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

excuse my ignorance but how is Cell C able to offer 200GB for R1999 (R9.95 per GB) and Rain able to do 240GB for R999 (R4.16 per GB) but MTN can only do R50 per GB when they get this magic spectrum they are so longing for??
