No, WAP is not available in all areas. In fact, the much-touted technology
is today caught in a spasm of unexpected hiccups and headaches. Handset
makers, including Nokia Corp., Telefon AB L.M. Ericsson and Motorola,
have fallen behind in promised deliveries of WAP phones. Wireless
operators have yet to get a large number of WAP services up and running.
And WAP-phone owners often find that what services are available are
either clunky to use or constantly busy. Far from the zippy Web experience
that the industry's publicists have promised, WAP is all too often a story of
overloaded computers, a few unimaginative services and a couple of lines
of slow-moving text on a screen half the size of a credit card. Not a few
users are asking why they spent more than 600 euros apiece for their
handsets.
