Curt,
there are too many reason's one lose coverage, in a subway, tunel,
or the shadow of buildings or on a moving train, ... it's pain in
the ass to have to remember to check the mails.
I don't care ISO/OSI much, after all, you have to use IETF, IEEE,
or ANSI standards, like ETSI/GSM in the wireless world. the problem
is those standards for the fixed Internet performs very badly over
wireless links, and many functions we need haven't been defined in
the RFCs, etc., yet. that's why MMS use SMTP/MIME on the Internet
side but WAP at the wireless network side. no available fixed
network standard can do the job (like secure push).
btw, I'm no fan of dirty politics within WAP, but it's the best
technology. have a look at au/KDDI and SKT services.
Ken
cheers,
Ken
