OMTP is an operator-sponsored forum serving the needs of each and every link in the mobile phone value chain by gathering and driving mobile terminal requirements.

It is technology neutral, with its recommendations intended for deployment across the range of technology platforms, operating systems and middleware layers. Carriers, content providers, middleware vendors, handset manufacturers and users all stand to gain from the forum's recommendations. There are currently 44 members and participants from all parts of the industry. www.omtp.org

The mission of the Open Mobile Alliance is to facilitate global user adoption of mobile data services by specifying market driven mobile service enablers that ensure service interoperability across devices, geographies, service providers, operators, and networks, while allowing businesses to compete through innovation and differentiation.
