Convert it into median wage working hours and it all makes sense

It only means that the prices are adjusted to get the most out of what people have, not that it costs what its worth

It's more expensive to build in western countries due to higher wages though, and probably better safety standards

And lower population density. At least in the US, there's a ton of empty space with pretty good coverage. I imagine India has a lot less open space, so more paying customers per tower.

The salaries for people building and operating the infrastructure are probably a bigger component though.
