A WAP Primer

摘要

WAP was the buzzword at the GSM World Congress and Wireless 2000, and for good reason: An open, industry-standard platform is key to making wireless data live up to its promise. The explosion in connectivity is astounding. Growth rates have surpassed predictions in almost every area: IP connections, e-mail, wireless phones, messaging, data traffic and voice traffic on wired systems. In the process, the concept of distance is vanishing: We routinely call across the country without thinking much beyond dialing an area code.
