I think mobile internet is misleading. (A subset of)mobile web perhaps, but
not mobile internet. What about services such as SMTP/Telnet/Usenet? These
are not protocols that a WAP Browser will deal with, it might emulate the
services provided via WAP, but it won't do it natively. The web sits atop
the internet, as do the protocols mentioned, as does WAP.

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

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!
