About Wired Applications Protocol (WAP)
Last decade led us to the absolutely new perspective of the global communications through the four decades old dinosaurs, internet. All that began shy, in the academic circles of USA universities, and then, after the years of the silent life among scientists and students, somewhat unexpectedly, internet grew worldwide to the well known form for all of us. There was also one more trend that was happening all those years, just before our eyes, since the end of seventies, the trend of the miniaturization. Through the idea of WAP (Wired Applications Protocol) those two streams seem to merged into one phenomena.

Using your mobile telephone for more than simple SMS was just the dream few years before, but mobile madness seem to grow, and just like people can't think of life without TV anymore, most of them can't live without their mobile telephones. Now, wouldn't it be nice to browse internet with your mobile telephone? Yes it would, you'll say. Just like WWW has HTML for it's native tongue, WAP has WML for it's native tongue. There are certain parallels between the HTML and WML, but there are also a significant differences between them. Most of them exist because web-enabled mobile telephones are not yet standardized, and they have limitations in operability comparing to the desktop computers/notebook (for instance, keyboard and size of the screen).
