Eric L: Still trying to find out about WAP. Noted that as part of your post, the following: "Mr Simpson said commercial trials starting later this month using Telstra's GSM digital network and the general packet radio service (GPRS) component of the wireless application protocol (WAP) would initially allow users to almost triple their internet access rate to 24Kbps." Does this mean that WAP is essential to permit GPRS? Is GPRS only available as a "component" of WAP? If so, that would explain why GSM suppliers incorporate WAP. Does WAP add anything useful to CDMA? Best. Chaz
