Ghana misses out on top 3 African countries with cheapest mobile data

It is a known fact that Africa has the most expensive average cost of mobile data in the world.

Various research reports by Ecobank Research, Cable UK and Statista all point to this fact.

Apparently, the high cost is due to some factors such as unavailability of infrastructure and high taxation.

In a recent interview, South African industrialist Ivor Ichikowitz commented on this issue of high cost of mobile data, saying: “Unfortunately, part of the challenge that we’ve brought on the continent is that governments have given that responsibility of providing data to the telcos who are profiteering from the people of the continent by hiking data prices.

“The reality is that the most expensive data in the world is in Africa. And there is absolutely no reason for this other than the fact that governments entered into unsatisfactory agreements with telcos who only have a profit motive. That has to be resolved.”

But despite the high cost of data in some parts of the continent, there are some African countries where data prices are low and very affordable.
