This value is close to the monthly consumption of mobile Internet in Russia and in the world, the authors explain the study, citing data from Cisco (average mobile users in 2014 downloaded from 2 to 2.6 gigabytes per month). The same operator was chosen on the basis of its market share in the country.

We used the methodology of Content Review and found that the third place in the ranking of experts would get Belarus: price Gigabyte has the largest subscriber base amounted to approximately 30 thousand Belarusian rubles (about 114 Russian rubles). In the calculation we took the batch plan for 2 GB of traffic. 4 GB would cost cheaper — 74 in Russian ruble.
