Ericsson is actively helping to shape the mobile Internet industry with
enabling technologies, such as WAP, Bluetooth, EPOC, Parlay, GPRS,
UMTS, and associated products. In particular, the wireless application
protocol is an early enabler with the potential both to offer and unlock
value in the emerging mobile Internet industry. In fact, WAP is probably
the one technology that will kick-start the new industry and open the
doors of opportunity.
The author describes the new wireless paradigm with its emerging
business roles and opportunities. He then provides a brief background to
WAP and goes on to compare it against competing technologies and
solutions.
