The Mobile Web Initiative

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is calling for participants to take part in a field trial that will help shape the future of the Web on mobile phones, reports Cellular News.

"The W3C standards body launched The Mobile Web Initiative to show users that it is serious about improving the quality of Web access on handhelds, wireless pagers and smart phones.

The effort is being overseen by W3C Director and Web creator Tim Berners-Lee, who said that mobile access to the Web "Has been a second class experience for far too long." Berners-Lee discussed the MWI in his keynote speech at the World Wide Web 2005 Conference in Chiba, Japan.
