Its about the companies / members of WAPI paying off the government to promote its own standard. But as a result, WAPI devices are no where to be seen. No one uses it. But no one makes Wifi in China for Chinese market. Its not about promoting GPRS data. Its about the companies / members of WAPI paying off the government to promote its own standard.

Am I misunderstanding this, or is China just playing the role of a crying baby now?

If everybody uses wifi, who's gonna use the GPRS data plan from carrier? Without those expensive GPRS bills, how could the carriers make more money? Who owns the carriers? Bingo, the government. What does government do? Making laws. Well, is it that difficult to understand?

So Nokia would have to buy additional licenses to sell mobile phones with wifi capabilities. Which cost a lot of money and a lot of time. They probably commited to the market and probably cant wait for either any longer with Apple and LG sporting really slim devices. Wifi was supposed to be replaced with WAPI. Anyone know what happened to that? Licensing. It comes a computing / radio frequency device and not a “mobile phone”.
