Well the web is indeed the Internet we are talking about
The Internet is an internet, but an internet is not an Internet always

The Web is NOT the Internet. The Web is one Internet application.

The Internet allows all protocols to in-operate with her. This is the
uniqueness
of the web. Therefore WAP falls within this area!

Hi Folks!!

I would like to hear your opinions about how WAP people often say that
WAP
is
"mobile Internet". In my opinion, WAP is NOT mobile Internet at all. The
Internet is built on the e2e principle and based on the Internet
Protocols,
which WAP is not. I can not tell people that they should not use WAP
(even
if I
have my opinions about WAP). If they believe in WAP that is their
problem,
but
when they try to use the words WAP and Internet in the same sentence I
think
it
is time to clarify a few things. I accept that WAP is there, but be
honest
about
what it is.

Cheers!
