I disagree, WAP, Wireless Application Protocol, Its a way of transmitting
data I.E. to and from the Web. How does this not fall under the Internet
Umbrella ?

Thanks

Hi all,
I fully agree with Lars. Even I believe WAP does not fall under the Internet
Umbrella

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!
