This initiative was primarily started by Ericson, Nokia, Motorola and Unwired Planet. WAP ensures the interoperability of the corresponding equipments and software that use different networking technologies. It is not a formal standard protocol. WAP is designed to allow handheld-device users to use internet on devices that have less powerful CPUs, less memory, different input styles and it provides less power consumption ability, smaller displays.
