• NOTES ON WIRELESS INTERNET ACCESS
This section gives a brief overview of wireless Internet technology.
Technology background
WAP
A technology called Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is to mobile
devices what the World Wide Web (WWW) is to personal computers.
The mobile community began developing WAP several years ago to
provide access to the Internet for mobile users.
Today, most WAP sites are made up of text and hyperlinks. Some pages
even contain low-resolution graphics, or require data input. Your service
provider and others are free to design WAP sites as they choose, so the
sites are as variable as Web pages on the Internet.
Internet content on your personal computer is called a “web page.” Internet
content on your mobile phone is called a “page,” or “WAP card.”
The wireless provider’s role
Because wireless Internet content is designed to be viewed from your
phone, your wireless provider now becomes your “wireless Internet service
provider” as well.
