Re: IP over MIME (was Re: WAP Is A Trap -- Reject WAP)

WAP's goal is not to replace IP, but mediate between non-IP wireless
devices, and existing IP based wire line applications.
So then obvious the Right Thing is to put an IP stack on each of those
devices. Then such "mediation" is unnecessary.

but there may not be enough room in the 640k before one runs into the video
buffer. :-)

technical shortsightedness used as an excuse for an attempt to create a
monpolistic walled garden.  don't get too excited about it, other more ipish
mobile phone technologies are already passing wap.

don't you just love telephants?
