Prices for the iPhone 3G across different markets. Customers in some countries seem to be ripped off, but you can’t really tell without knowing how much the networks paid for 3G spectrum in the first place. I don’t know what percentage of operating costs goes toward paying for spectrum, but in some countries this must be significant: in 2000 in the UK, for example, five bidders bought 3G spectrum for a combined £22.5bn.
