I guess that converging the next version of WML with the XHTML standard may not be a huge obstacle. But what about building all of TCP's functionallity in a WAP-phone? Are there any pointers to studies/analuses of what this could mean to performance? I know that there are people around that vision to watch the next World Cup final in a live feed through their 3G wap-phone ;-) How do you plan to make this possible with all the ugly implications (power consumption, no multicast, lower throughput etc.)? /Kostas
