Abstract
In 1997, Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia and Unwired Planet took the initiative to found WAP Forum, which mission is to bring the convenience of the Internet into the wireless community as well. By addressing the constraints of a wireless environment, and adapt existing Internet technology to meet these constraints, the WAP Forum has succeeded in developping a standard that scales across a wide range of wireless devices and networks. This paper gives some technical background.
