Re: OMA White Paper on social networks

How is OMA related and positioned vis a vis the Open Handset Alliance and the Eclipse Foundation and other similar initiatives?

Nothing against more broad initiatives, the more the merrier, but my experience in ICT field shows that more initiatives open the potential for more proprietary solutions or competing platforms.

Developers who are interested in open access, open source and open licensing must often make hard choices in how to allocate their development resources.

This is particularly true of software development platforms which are non-profit in nature and which target global market segments of users in developing countries who do not have the usual financial resources of developed country consumers.
