WAP - Wireless Application Protocol
WAP is an open international standard for applications that use wireless
communication.
Its main application is to enable access to the Internet from a mobile phone
or PDA device.
A WAP browser provides all of the basic services of a computer based web
browser, but simplified to operate within the restrictions of a mobile
phone. WAP is now the protocol used for the majority of the world's mobile
internet sites, known as WAP sites.
Mobile internet sites, or WAP sites, are websites written in, or dynamically
converted to, WML (Wireless Markup Language) and accessed via the WAP
browser.
Before the introduction of WAP, service providers had extremely limited
opportunities to offer interactive data services. Interactive data
applications are required to support now commonplace activities such as,
email by mobile phone, sports results, news headlines and music downloads
