• NOTES ON WIRELESS INTERNET ACCESS
This section gives a brief overview of wireless Internet technology.
Technology background
A technology called Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is to mobile
devices what the World Wide Web (WWW) is to personal computers.
The mobile community began developing WAP several years ago to
provide access to the Internet for mobile users.
Today, most WAP sites are made up of text and hyperlinks. Some pages
even contain low-resolution graphics, or require data input. Your service
provider and others are free to design WAP sites as they choose, so the
sites are as variable as Web pages on the Internet.
Internet content on your personal computer is called a “web page.”
Internet content on your mobile phone is called a “page,” or “card.”
Note: WAP pages are designed using Wireless Markup Language
(WML). Since many web pages are designed using Hyper Text
Mark-up Language (HTML), not all web pages may be viewed from
your phone.
