Thanks a lot - now I understand your point and I agree on this argument. I see the much bigger advantage of GPRS is that your are online all the time. It is like using a normal modem compared to a cable modem, much quicker, always on, no boring waiting until having a connection, which breaks after a while anyway. This is more important in my opinion. 9600 baud is enough for text oriented content on cell phones, but waiting for dialup is worst. And, after all, I disagree that people want to have all the content of the WWW on their cell phones. Check out http://www.cnn.com/2000/TECH/computing/07/07/wild. wap.idg/index.html

Okay, this paper is pretty well. But the paper mentioned by Angus is worst. GPRS is no substition of WAP, it is only an addon to GSM, which enables connectionless data transfer, so it is kind enhancement to WAP:-)
