Interesting to see @AssemblyTweets' new report – The value of telecoms services internationally – published today. Some summary points worth calling out...

• UK operators offer the greatest value for money when compared internationally.

• The price of a typical bundle of telecoms services in the UK remains amongst the lowest in Europe.

• The price of 5GB of mobile data in the UK is a third cheaper than it was in 2017.
