Opera have announced a proxy based service for reducing the size of web pages. The Opera Mobile Accelerator will scrunch down pages, images and scripts before sending them to your phone, thus reducing your GPRS usage by (on average)50%-70%. A 14 day free trial is available, then you subscribe monthly.

Seems pretty expensive to me. And it's not even a particularly new idea: reqwireless' webviewer forces the user to do this.
