WAP is a protocol to both send, update menus and make selections within the menues. Works both using - SMS messages, as 160 bytes transmitted through the control channel, at no additional cost to the operator. (lousy stuff, if somebodies GSM-SMS server sits on those text-messages for many minutes) - GSM switched circuit data, usually called "GSM-Data", some 8kbps/s and cost per minute - HSCSD (High Speed Circuit Switched Data), faster than the one above - and finally, packet networks like GPRS, including the packet network as implemented for the airinterface. Obviously that mintues of delay is only important for the historical "WAP-IS-CRAP" nations, spearheaded by toiletpapers as The Funancial Times and The Economonomist, due to some severe mad cow, empty holes in the brain, deseases in their domestic networks Btw, there is nothing "internet" about a protocol to make menuselections in a Wireless Application Protocol, except if the application has something to do with the internet. Ilmarinen btw, ouch, those huge nonsense headers and overheads sent back and forth in regular html/tcp/ip protocols just to click on a menu or to fill out a little 3-4letter field of what stock to buy or sell.
