The truth doesn't have to lie somewhere in between. Look at the last paragraph:

Even for ISPs running their own network, such as BT, [ISP CTO] Davies claims the figures of €0.01-0.03 per GB are "rubbish". "It's an order of magnitude greater than that," he claimed.

This is coming from a guy claiming that the "existing smartphone data tariffs of around €10 per GB" are too low. They're profit-seeking, and relying on their regulators to be as bad at math as they are.



The problem, at least in Canada, isn't that the CRTC is bad at math, it's that almost all of the people making decisions used to be executives for the ISP and or Telecoms industry.
