The Open Mobile Alliance (OMA)
openmobilealliance.org
The Open Mobile Alliance was formed in June 2002 by nearly 200 companies representing the world's leading mobile operators, device & network suppliers, information technology companies and content providers. The Open Mobile Alliance is designed to be the center of mobile service standardization work, helping the creation of interoperable services across countries, operators and mobile terminals that will meet the needs of the user.
The foundation of the Open Mobile Alliance was created by consolidating the efforts of the supporters of the Open Mobile Architecture initiative and the WAP Forum. In addition, the Location Interoperability Forum (LIF), SyncML, MMS Interoperability Group (MMS-IOP), and Wireless Village, each focusing on mobile service enabler specifications, announced that they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding of their intent to consolidate with the Open Mobile Alliance.
