John, I'm not super technical myself, but from what I read (including between the lines) with the advent of 3G (3-5 yrs out in the US) there may be more robust offerings than WAP. For example, I don't believe NTT's DOCOmo (sp?) uses WAP for its broadband wireless offering, and they are the closest to 3G implementations.

I also think for any existing technology, trying to predict what's out 1-2 years in probably hazardous to ones financial health...in the same breath, I'll also say that PHCM is probably working on the next generation of WAP and could have a significant first mover advantage. cm
