Some comments on a very recent TastyPC video reminded me that at one point, WAP didn't mean a Wifi hotspot. Rather, it was a "lite web" for mobile phones that tried to work better with the technology limitations of the time.

When I first got my license we built a battery powered supply to ring a standard "bell ringer" phone (STC "princess" from memory) and we used to do that at traffic lights. Phone would ring, wait for odd look from the next car over then "answer" the phone and wind the window down, then hold the handset out with an "it's for you".

I'd forgotten about that.
