I'm suspecting it might not. I've heard the anecdotes, too, but I've never seen an anecdote substantiated. I've never heard about transcoding HTTP proxies (as opposed to origin servers) being used today (as opposed to in the past) when connecting to the real Web (as opposed to a mobile walled garden) using a full- featured Web browser (as opposed to a mobile client that isn't suitable for browsing the Web) in Japan from a person living in Japan.
