It took flat payment models/broadband for people to truly dive in and the same I think is true with mobile phone web usage. The other issue right now is the low number of sites that are actually optimized for mobile. Even if you do save you mobile surfing for urgent on the go stuff, plenty of sites that should no better are virtually non functional.

The obstacle in increasing the number of mobile Internet users is a cost of surfing on the internet via a mobile. The internet services rates will have to drop if mobile operators want to encourage people to use the internet on their mobiles.
