Until the users want to access the same stuff from their PC and they petition for it to be in the public root tooTo the public if it looks like internet they expect it to work like internet
You 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).
When a user "surfs the internet" from their handheld device they get the real Internet, not some walled garden that has .gprs.
