Yeah, this is ridiculous. I used to browse the Web (not the Wap!) 13 years ago on my Nokia N70 (Symbian OS, 220 Mhz, 32MB) smartphone, on a Internet plan that cost 1€/MB (I have a plan that costs 100 000 times less today), and while it was a bit rough, it was already pretty serviceable!

Most of the content (in time spent on it) is still text (remember what HTTP stands for?), and text takes hardly any processing power!
