By accessibility of mobile Internet, Russia ranks second in the world
According to the results of the study of tariffs by the Content Review analytical agency, it became clear that among the fifty countries with the largest GDP, Russia is in second place in the rating of the cost of mobile access. Cheaper than the Russian mobile Internet was only in Iran (operator Hamrah-e-Avval).
