It would be interesting to see some stats on how the price per minute/per kb/per sms/per mms etc. has changed in different markets over time. that is a good way to understand what is happening.

My guess that we will see that voice-minutes are being commoditized and less "valuable" to the network provider.
Lower unit prices = $9.99 today may get you 3.5Mbps service with 2GB monthly quota, and maybe in a year or two it'll get you 7Mbps service with 5GB monthly quota.

Just divide what you're paying with what you're getting, you'll end up with the unit prices.
