That is a lot cheaper than it would cost in a developed country, but is not more affordable.
For example, that would cost about three times as much in the UK but median income is about an order of magnitude higher so its more affordable.
I do realise it is a lot more affordable than telecoms were in the past, but its something like a day of median income.
Communications and electricity aren't just luxury goods, they're also critical inputs to work. There are lots of anecdotes of one or both of these increasing income by substantially more than their costs.
Yes, I do realise that, which is why I recognise it makes a huge difference, I just want to put it into context as not being very cheap.
