Another carrier breaking the mobile web

I have heard of another carrier Orange in Europe, who have decide that they can help the uptake of the mobile web by automatically compressing every image that downloaded via 3G to make it faster. As you can see from the result above (compressed version on the left) it may be faster but the quality is alot worse.

When are the carriers going to finally stop interferring and just leave the mobile web alone.
