How many mobile browsers are there? Last I heard there were dozens....and the only one I'd ever use is Opera (because I've heard others are happy with it). Where we are we get $5/month for unlimited online access during the month. I don't know how the download speeds are, though. Another problem with mobile phone content is that every browser parses the code differently. <a href="http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/operaStuff/devices/" rel="nofollow">This site</a> shows a good example, however, the creator seems to be very pro-Opera (which I'm sure is why I'd want to use it).

The telco's control the content 'portals' because they can, but it's only a matter of time before the data costs and transfer speeds in Australia become more inline with overseas markets and then someone else comes along and provides a decent user search facility that can bypass the dismal array of content provided by the telco's. I think the telco's will eventually have to waiver to consumer demand, even if it we have to do it one megabyte at a time! -Tina The way I see it, the mobile phone content industry is similar to the web in 1994.

Get real. In America you can get a $25 mobile internet cap which has 2gigabytes on it! But, the telco's can't give us THAT deal because it would outshine their scammy $29 'broadband' which only includes 200megabytes. Who wants to overthrow the Big4 with me?
