WAP has pretty much died, there have been plenty of companies around over the years who have launched WAP sites but they have all pretty much failed miserably. Why? Because most people aren't even aware of how to do anything but enter the walled gardens their operators have (Vodafone Live! and Telecom's WAP portal) and using sites outside these were so expensive that people couldn't afford to view them. Remember that for many years Telecom charged $50 per MB to access data that wasn't on their own WAP side and if you don't have a data plan with Vodafone (75% of their customers don't since they are on prepay) you're still paying $10 per MB for data.

The iPhone and other recent smart phones have pretty much killed WAP in a sence since they are far more capable than the mobile web browers that we had 5 years ago.

Anyone thought about making business WAP sites, as this is the perfect time to have one launched with the launch of the iphone in NZ, just a bit of a idea
