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.

Openness and the Open Mobile Alliance

Maintaining an open organization is key to OMA’s vision for broad industry participation and adoption. Openness in this sense comprises of actively collaborating with other organizations and inviting comments and communications with other industry organizations. Openness also means developing industry solutions in a transparent manner, allowing other organizations insight into the technical aspects of the organization. Openness means that any interested party may join OMA and contribute to the technical specifications, and any entity (both members and non-members)may build applications and services in accordance with OMA’s open specifications and interfaces under the same conditions. www.openmobilealliance.org
