VIENNA, Va., Oct. 6
Strategy.com(TM), the world's first Personal Intelligence Network(TM), today
announced that they joined the WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) Forum, a
global industry association dedicated to promoting WAP, a world standard for
providing internet access and advanced telephony services on wireless devices.
Strategy.com will join companies from all segments of the wireless industry,
including AT&T Wireless Services, Bell Atlantic Mobile and IBM Corporation, to
empower users with wireless devices to gain access to information anytime,
anywhere. Strategy.com is a business unit of MicroStrategy(R) Incorporated

Strategy.com works with leading companies to deliver personalized information
to consumers via email, telephone, wireless devices and the Internet. As a
member of the WAP Forum, Strategy.com can extend its ability to "push" important
information to users. With WAP, Strategy.com users will be able to actively
access information and services -- such as sports scores, weather updates and
financial information -- using only their digital mobile phone. WAP technology
also will ensure that Strategy.com subscribers can react to their personalized
alerts about investments, weather, news, sports and traffic by enabling them to
trade shares of stock, buy merchandise, and make travel reservations by simply
pressing a button on their cell phone.
"Joining the WAP Forum is part of our commitment to deliver the most robust
and technologically-advanced services to millions of people all over the world,"
said Michael Saylor, president and CEO of MicroStrategy Incorporated.
