What is the catch?
You can't use it in America.

Data plans are stupid cheap outside of North America

Probably having to move to Kazakhstan. (Lame joke)

This link implies there is no 4G in Kazakhstan http://m.gsmarena.com/network-bands.php3?sCountry=KAZAKHSTAN

This link mentions there is "4G LTE ALTEL 1800Mhz" available (although it doesn't specifically nail it to regions of the country) http://www.worldtimezone.com/4g.html

Since Kazakhstan is so huge, I expect there to be decent coverage in larger cities but next to no coverage in rural areas (especially newer technology like 4G)

I pay £20 for 20GB of 4G data in the UK (plus unlimited minutes + texts - which I barely use). This includes Spotify Premium (which I would otherwise pay £9.99 for - and was, prior to my network introducing this), so in reality I'm paying the equivalent of £10 for 20GB. It always astonishes me how much people have to pay for data.

It never surprises me how expensive data is in the US.

The other interesting thing was omnipresent FTTT, even in rotting, century old barracks
