What is WAP

WAP: The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is an open standard for developing wireless applications. All major players in the wireless market collaborated to come up with a standard for extending the Web to mobile devices. Applications for WAP-enabled devices usually are written in Wireless Markup Language (WML), but Microsoft .NET provides a framework to deal with WML and a higher level of abstraction to access the low-level tasks. The current version of the Mobile Internet Toolkit takes care of generating output that complies with the WML 1.1 specification.
