WAP is only the beginning (Score 1)

It's important to also realize that WAP is still in an infant stage. It was never intended to provide a fancy GUI with all the bells and whistles that you would get on a large screen. It is an interium solution to something much better - but we must have standards and refine them as we go or else we have to accept whatever Microsoft decides to bless upon us. In Europe, banks and other large corporates are all using WAP successfully. Take a closer look at the IETF document [NOT!] - the mailing address is in Redmond, WA. - Enough said.
