| | Techworld.com - New mobile standards group goes live |
 | | The group, first mooted in April, includes mmO2, Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile, Telefonica of Spain, Telecom Italia Mobile of Italy, Japan's NTT DoCoMo and the Philippines' Smart Communications. |
 | | The group denies that it is a new standards body and says in a FAQ that it will not seek to create new standards but will produce recommendations relating to current standards or support the development of new standards by existing bodies. |
 | | The information on the website is careful to avoid suggestions that this is an attempt to influence handset vendors, although it is comes at a time when some are eyeing Nokia's likely takeover of Symbian with suspicion. |
