Mika,
I am not an expert on these things. But:
(a) AU now has 2.4 Mbps download, and DoCoMo will soon have
10 Mbps download so the limits will not be
the radio section of the signal path, but other bottlenecks.
(b) there probably already is compression in the telecommunication
system (I don't know for sure but it's easy to check).
If there is already good compression than additional compression
will not improve things much. This is just my guess, but can
easily be checked.
