Figure 2-1. The layers of the mobile ecosystem

Figure 2-1. The layers of the mobile ecosystem talks about Operators, Networks and *Aggregators* before Devices (among other things).

The subsequent pages that describe each layer has no reference on *Aggregators* leaving the reader confused in terms of what is the contribution of an *Aggregator*. This has no reference in the provided index either. Please clarify your stance on the nuances of *Aggregators*

Paras 3-5

The population numbers are out of date. Obviously this is an ongoing problem for this book, but for example: global population is up to 6.8 billion now; population of china I just heard yesterday is 1.7 billion, and I believe the US is up to 350 million. Would be worth doing a little research to update these for the next printing.

11.4.2.1. Doctypes (not sure of page number, reading the book on Safari)

The doctype recommended for Class B devices appears to contain a typo:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN"
"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile12.dtd">

If the doctype is 'Mobile 1.0', the end string should be 'xhtml-mobile10.dtd' not 'xhtml-mobile12.dtd.

as so:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN"
"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd">

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.1//EN"
"http://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/DTD/xhtml-mobile11.dtd">

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.2//EN"
"http://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/DTD/xhtml-mobile12.dtd">
