	This is just the case the telecom operators are doing
	with their WAP access in Finland. They sell WAP as
	an "mobile Internet" (sic) and at the same time they
	allow their subscribers only to acces their own content
	or some 3rd party content which has been approved by
	the operator. Rest of the world is blocked out by
	their ACL's.

	In i-mode's case, even though DoCoMo has their portal they
	atleast allow access to the rest of the world.
