Eli5 – How does data work and how do mobile and internet companies create it ? Can they create as much as they want ? Do they control the quota to control prices ?

By data I’m assuming you mean cellular and internet data and their respective “caps”
ISPs or Internet Service Providers and cellular carries could let you use all the data you’d want, but they do have to make money and have limited throughput (or in other words can only send so much data at one time). It’s not so much to control prices, but more so they can keep running and make a profit while they’re at it.
