Please cite the International Telecommunication Union for third-party use of these data. The monthly subscription charge for mobile cellular service. Due to the variety of plans available in many countries, it is preferable to use the tariff with the cheapest initiation/connection charge. If prepaid services are used (for those countries that have more prepaid than post-paid subscribers), the monthly subscription charge would be zero. If the plan includes free minutes, this should be put in a note. A note should indicate whether taxes are included (preferred) or not and what the rate is. This indicator is expressed in US dollars.
