There was a quote on IT World that I read the other day in the Blogging Idol section. It was in regards to a question about data plans and wireless carriers.
Quote:

The price of mobile data access is higher in Canada than it is in Rwanda. In fact when I first looked into this in April of 2007, some mobility providers in Canada were charging rates almost 21 times higher than Terracom in Rwanda. Mobile data rates are also significantly cheaper than Canada in Egypt, Botswana, Vietnam and Bolivia. In fact, why limit comparisons to things terrestrial? Sending data using a Canadian mobility provider costs more than sending the same amount of data from the Hubble Space Telescope!

As absurd as some of that sounds, I don't question it because its very likely true.
