To the public if it looks like internet they expect it to work like internetYou are misunderstanding. The data in .gprs is used by infrastructure in the GSM networks to decide where a user's home station is. End users have no way of interacting with this infrastructure (beyond turning on their phones outside their home country).
He has a point. Remember "Het Net"* as it was before they proxiet to the real internet. Users expected the internet and after a while, they got it. -- Sabri please do not throw salami pizza away * "Het Net", translated as "The Net" was an attempt by the dutch national telco in the late 90's to come up with a big intranet where users could dialup, using RFC1918 addresses and visit community and commercial sites. After a few months, proxy-support to the real internet was added and even later it was integrated into Planet.nl, a dutch dsl-isp.
