W3C Launches "Mobile Web Initiative": "Chiba, Japan -- 11 May 2005 -- Today, at the WWW2005 Conference, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) announced the launch of the Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) - an endeavor to make Web access from a mobile device as simple, easy, and convenient as Web access from a desktop device.
'Mobile access to the Web has been a second class experience for far too long,' explained Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director. 'MWI recognizes the mobile device as a first class participant, and will produce materials to help developers make the mobile Web experience worthwhile. '"
