Yes, but stripped down may not be what you imagine.
For mobile data since I think 2013 you can buy data for specific apps only (only most popular ones). Obviously, that is a ridiculously bad deal for people in most cases.
And it totally undermines net neutrality too.
What I wonder is if there was an interface that gave a low data optimization option.
One of the two telcos runs a data optimizing VPN app for Android phones. Doesn’t strip ads out tho, and in an early version even introduced its own ads bar at the bottom because that’s what you do as a corporation, right.
Tbh data here is “cheap” compared to many African countries and Central and Southern American countries. Less than half the price compared to many countries. Still expensive to millions tho. We have plenty of available bandwidth here, more than enough to give those 30-50 million poor and/or unbanked citizens 1GB FB traffic every day.
I’m surprised no Venezuelan or Nigerian Hiver shared their local situation yet.
