Re: Possible Coremob topic: network efficiency and APIs (& OMA Device Apps Network Efficiency)

I would think that the general topic of being interested in efficient - with use of the underlying network, with the user's battery and wallet, especially when roaming - would be an area of interest to Coremob. Though DAP would know better than me the capacity of this area to reduce adults to tears.

In terms of establishing a liaison with OMA, as things stand I wonder if a CG is able to do that? Would that change if Coremob was an IG?

Re Network Friendly CG - my understanding is that its focus was quite specific to a GSMA initiative, "Smarter Apps for Smart Phones" which was due for update at the end of 2012, though that may not be a correct perception.
