This is an interesting article from The Guardian about, what I read as, the negative impact of opening up the Internet to users.
There do seem to be inaccuracies, so watch out:
"At the moment, this is delivered to customers in a limited fashion through walled-garden operator portals, such as Vodafone Live! or T-Mobile's T-Zones."
Obviously you have open access on Live! and T-Zones, but yes the portals themselves are quite self contained.
The article touches on i-mode and how networks could end up being stuck as an Internet Service Provider rather than a Content Provider.
