We've never believed in WAP. I think it will take some time, probably, before people start realizing that WAP is basically just a walled garden with limited content you can give your subscribers, when they could have the full Internet at their fingertips.
More Quotes from Eskil Sivertsen:
Hopefully, operators will see traffic increase as a result of people using the browsers, and that will convince them that they can build new revenue streams off of Opera and the mobile Web. Distribution of the technology won't happen overnight, but we believe that operators' desire to distribute more 3G content will encourage them to take a look sooner rather than later.Eskil Sivertsen
Many of today's popular mobile business applications are closed-off client-server type products, but Mini shows how companies will also be able to take a different tack in offering wireless Web tools. Whether it is creating their own version of the browser for a specific use or building less proprietary applications that can be accessed via any browser, there's no need for them to build their own interface anymore.

We're trying to jump-start the mobile Internet revolution, and our trials with users show us that when people download the browser they begin using the Web on their handsets more frequently. The biggest obstacle in growing use of the mobile Web to this point is the inability of other browsers to convert sites into something people are willing to look at, and that's what we believe the browser does best.
