• NOTES ON WIRELESS INTERNET ACCESS
This section gives a brief overview of wireless Internet technology.
Technology background
XHTML
A technology called HyperText Markup Language (xHTML) is to mobile
devices what the World Wide Web (WWW) is to personal computers.
xHTML is a relatively new development that provides access to the
Internet for mobile users.
Today, most xHTML 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 xHTML 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 xHTML card.
The wireless service provider’s role
Because wireless Internet content is designed to be viewed from your
phone, your wireless service provider now becomes your “wireless Internet
service provider” as well.
