I read once that we pay the highest rates for mobile data (or at least I think I did) in the world but I don’t recall reading why. Maybe it had something to do with near-monopolies or infrastructure?

Are there any changes coming that may change this?

    In Canada, you can expect to pay $75-$125 per person for a plan with “unlimited data”.

    These plans will have a cap for how much of that data is 5g speeds, afterwards they throttle your speeds harshly.

    I do not use one of the major carriers and I primarily use wifi at home and work, so my phone is about $100 a year.
