The problem that WAP has is that it is not used for end to end
connections. WAP will protect the data from the wireless device to a
proxy server which must be able to decrypt the data so that it can be
retransmitted over a SSL/TLS connection to the real HTTP server.
That means that I as a corporate service provider MUST trust the
wireless provider's security and their promise not to look at my
data. I'm sorry, but this is not a system that I will rely on.
Since WAP is not end to end, it is of no use to me.
