Vodafone did the same thing in UK and mobile companies are not happy about this. Alessandro Ciao Will,

Smartphone owners can just install a third-party web browser that should allow them to view webpage as they would look on a desktop anyway. But, I do agree with you - all handsets should be able to view a webpage as it looks on a computer. That will only take time - give it 2-3 years.

Also if you think about it, they completely miss represent mobile sites that are copyrighted by changing the layout of mobile sites. This is a bad practice!! Alessandro Ciao Will,
