Re: preprocess html?

"Why can't web pages be preprocessed by the wireless provider, before being sent to the phone?"

Do you really want the WAP fiasco all over again? I prefer my network dumb and trasparent and the smarts in the endpoint, thank you.

No, WAP has nothing to do with his idea. WAP wasn't about the server. WAP just brought a new markup language (WML) more suitable for mobile phones than HTML.

WAP wasn't succefull for two reasons:
- few websites published WAP versions (I don't blame webmasters, it just wasn't an easy task);
- the user needed to specify a different URL than he would for the regular version.
