I would like to hear your opinions about how WAP people often say that WAP is
"mobile Internet".
Well, Ericsson do in their ads :-) :-) (I say to a person at Ericsson).
From my point of view, you can (through a proxy service) access
(some) Internet Services via WAP, but not Internet. Exactly because
of the reasons you listed in your email.
Internet is end2end IP.
If you understand swedish, you can find one specification of "what
should be part of an Internet connection" on
http://www.itkommissionen.se/obs/obs_spec.html
It specifies what is needed for calling something "Internet".
Nothing connected to WAP will pass those tests.
