Mobile internet use on the rise By Richard Fletcher Genie BT TRAFFIC figures to be released by Genie, the mobile internet division of BT, will reveal that consumers are finally using Wap-enabled mobile phones to access the internet. This week's figures will reveal unprecedented levels of traffic in December, with 62.5m Wap page impressions compared to 10.2m at the end of September - an increase of more than 513 per cent in one quarter. The company will also announce that registrations on its UK site have increased by 38 per cent over the same period to more than 1.6m. Wap phones had been written off Back in July. Carphone Warehouse, Britain's biggest independent retailer of mobile phones, was reported to be advising customers not to buy Wap phones because services were so poor. But Laurence Alexander, managing director of Genie UK, says the traffic figures show analysts wrote the technology off prematurely.
