WAP is the way for Miss World

French TV viewers will be able to use WAP to vote for the prettiest girl in France during next year's Miss France contest.

In the past, Minitel and the phone have been the traditional tools used by fans to vote. But Oliver Forsans, director of mobile services of TFr1, the hosts of the show, said: "A week before the event, voters will be able to view the 46 contestants through the WAP portals of Bouygues and Itineris. Then voting is organised into four consecutive rounds with 12 candidates being voted on per session." Forsans said he expects over 250,000 votes in total for the Miss France contest, with only one per cent registered from WAP.
