![]() And surprisingly its not that easyĪnyway, I still have many doubts about the feasibilitiy of such an implementation - but thats what POC's are for. So I have to find a Nokia phone with a WAP 2.0 browser. I have not tested the pages on a Nokia phone as apparently all the phones now come with HTML browser and when you login to the URL, you see the HTML login page for OTM - and thats No Good (TM). Don't know if it is a browser issue or layout issue or form factor issue, but the words are too small and text entry was really painful (you have to switch out to another text entry screen to enter the user id and password and then switch back to login - *terrible*) How that translates to a more consistent / stable implementation of WAP protocol by the telcos remains to be seen.Īs of now, I have tested the WAP pages on some clamshell Sony Ericsson phones and they *suck*. However, I noticed that the wireless module now is using WAP 2.0 specifications (the WAP page cannot be viewed with a WAP 1.x browser). Thanks for reminding me to test it with a Chinese handphone! implementation of "bleeding" edge applications (then in 2004) often leads to much bloodletting. Re: OTM 5.5: Wireless Functionality (WAP) I certainly believe that the wireless technology and mobile devices are more stable and reliable by now. Just my two cents' worth, but that was way back in 2004. So WAP pages work on phones in SG but not in CN and we had to tweak our pages just so that it got displayed correctly on the China phones.Ĭ) Somehow the implementation does not work with CDMA networks in Korea- could be a problem with our implementation, but it's pretty embarrassing when I was attempting to do the demo then, LOL Specifically speaking, some of the issues that were faced included:Ī) Response times, esp when the driver is out of the telco's GPRS range, POD timing is no longer in real time.ī) The China telco (can't remember with one) not being fully compliant on WAP protocol. Ian, being my ex-colleague can testify to such horror stories when we did a WAP implementation in Singapore and China sometime in 2004 before I joined G-Log. You're at the mercy of Telecom companies (Telcos). I agree with you that it looks nice and very demo-able, but in the real world, it's another story altogether. It looks great and is very demo-able, but I'll have to use it a bit to figure out how much we can accomplish via this interface. My next curiosity is how usable this is in the real world. The announcement also came hours after Chinese Vice Premier Liu He and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen held trade discussions via video call that Beijing described as “pragmatic, candid and constructive”.īut Shu said Thursday that the latest FCC announcement from Washington had “undermined the atmosphere of cooperation” between the sides, vowing that Beijing would safeguard the “rights and interests” of its enterprises.Ĭhina Telecom is China’s largest fixed-line operator, but it has faced trouble in the United States for years, particularly during Trump’s presidency as the former president repeatedly clashed with Beijing over trade.Thankya Funny - I haven't tested this out in years and it's improved a good bit. The latest move in the long-running standoff comes as US President Joe Biden presses ahead with a hardline trade policy against Beijing broadly in line with that of his predecessor Donald Trump, whose bombastic approach sent tensions soaring. The FCC added that this gave Beijing opportunities “to access, store, disrupt, and/or misroute US communications,” which in turn allowed them to engage in espionage and other harmful activities against the US.īut Beijing rejected the move as a “generalisation of the concept of national security, abuse of national power and malicious suppression of a Chinese company without basis in facts”.Ĭommerce ministry spokeswoman Shu Yuting told a press briefing that China’s economic and trade team has “lodged solemn representations” with the United States and that Beijing is seriously concerned by the ban. ![]() ![]() ![]() The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) said China Telecom’s “ownership and control by the Chinese government raise significant national security and law enforcement risks”.
