• NOTES ON WIRELESS INTERNET ACCESS

This section gives a brief overview of wireless Internet technology.

Technology background

XHTML

A technology called HyperText Markup Language (xHTML) is to mobile devices what the World Wide Web (WWW) is to personal computers. xHTML is a relatively new development that provides access to the Internet for mobile users.

Today, most xHTML sites are made up of text and hyperlinks. Some pages even contain low-resolution graphics, or require data input. Your service provider and others are free to design xHTML sites as they choose, so the sites are as variable as Web pages on the Internet.

Internet content on your personal computer is called a web page. Internet content on your mobile phone is called a page, or xHTML card.

The wireless service provider’s role

Because wireless Internet content is designed to be viewed from your phone, your wireless service provider now becomes your “wireless Internet service provider” as well.
