What a load of Bollocks! Your disinformation is brazen.

WAP is NOT supported by all players (read ERICY announcement on RCRnews today).
I suggest you search the ERICY website. I found 1952 WAP related press releases alone
Try out these for size
ericsson.se

Ericsson offers end-to-end WAP solution for the mobile Internet Date: Friday, February 4 2000
Ericsson, Postbank and Libertel in mobile stock trading via WAP Date: Wednesday, February 2 2000
etc

Seconly, WAP has everything to do with TDD. What the heck do you think data downloads are
going to speak to? Certainly not thin air! They need the software (or similar construct) in place first
and the bugs worked out in order for any data overlay technology to work. The software standard
(WAP) must first be accepted and introduced in order for HDR or TDD to operate.


1. WAP is airlink agnostic. It will work equally well with HDR or TDD ...

2. HDR and TDD can work just fine without WAP. WAP is an adjunct to a standard data protocol stack. Ever heard of TCP/IP? SLIP? PPP? CDPD (the AMPS based data protocol) is deployed today without WAP.

Do you know what WAP is? Enlighten us with an explanation because it's not clear to me that we are talking about the same thing.

The Amazon deal is just another example of Nokia's effort and example of groundbreaking to standardization its own WAP version.

WAP is and open standard. If Amazon built its websites along the alledged NOK version, how would other WAP 'phones access the site?

For the non-techie lurkers, I'll answer Durrel's original, misleading, posting (the linking the NOK AMZN press release to IDC) next week, and include a dictionary of the alphabet soup that is being used by Durrel to fog the issues.
