Nokia enables mobile access to the Net from a mobile handset
Nokia paves the way for wireless Internet services. The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is an open defacto standard for Internet content and advanced telephony services in digital mobile phones and other wireless terminals. The standard enables manufacturers, network operators, content providers and application developers to offer compatible products and secure services on all digital devices and networks resulting in greater economics of scale and universal access to information.
