    Either you pay by speed (bandwidth mb/s) like home internet, or by amount of data (gigs) like cell plans. Or some combination of both.

    Reason is pretty simple, at home a desktop or laptop is super fast and for gaming especially: latency kills. So companies monetize speed.

    Whereas mobile data is slow in comparison and since speed is the problem, no provider will celebrate slow connections... they all claim fast service, though not true. So the only thing to monetize is the overall data used.

    Hope that helps.

    Stay beautiful.
