Visit an airline Web site and search for information on WAP or SMS access to booking airline services. Do the same for WAP or SMS services in banking. How do both industries compare?
I have used the NAB and Westpac SMS services. I have to stated that each sucks.
I also use the QANTAS SMS service, there is some use in this. When waiting for a flight, having the data pushed is a good idea.
Banking, well this was and is a waste of time, a solution looking for an issue. It adds little security as SMS is simple to spoof etc and is impracticable.
WAP was dead before it was birthed. This still born technology was a cut down - yet slower - version of the web. As phones and mobile devices become more powerful (and I have been using full browsers on phones for 12 years now) complete rich browsers will become more common on the phone itself. Windows Mobile, iPhone etc all have moved towards the richer model and WAP is slowly fading into the obscurity it deserverd.
