Duh ! You do not need to own a cellphone manufacturing plant to
implement the WAP standard for a WAP server, or do you ?
Going by the same logic, W3C, then should start asking for $50000,
with the reasoning that not every individual has the need for a
webserver.
IMNHO, any standard should be open and freely accessible to anyone
who wants to implement it. The WAPFORUM is a sham in that respect.
