Abstract
Mobile phones are quickly becoming one of the most ubiquitous wireless consumer devices. Separately, Internet services are growing by leaps and bounds. Thus, an interesting area of research is to see if and how the two can be married together to provide wireless ubiquitous access to the ever-growing Internet services.
In this paper, we highlight the challenges and issues in providing Internet services to mobile phones. As an example, we describe and examine a research prototype called Wireless Data Server, which provides, among other services, wireless email service to mobile phone users.
