Explain? As I see it the issues are:
1 - rendering regular sites well for mobile
2 - data usage is so expensive.

1 I think will be easily solved over the coming years through web 
standards. CSS and semantic web initiatives and so on can offer very 
great hope for creating a single page for both PC and mobile browsers.

2 I hope the operators will sort out, or else maybe it will be solved 
by WiMax.
