TOKYO-NTT DoCoMo Inc. and Nokia Corp. launched a joint action plan to accelerate the development of the open mobile architecture initiative announced by wireless companies earlier this week. The two companies will cooperate in promoting open mobile architecture for W-CDMA-based third-generation services in areas such as browsing, messaging and application execution.
“In order to accelerate the introduction of mobile Internet access, mobile visual communications and other services for 3G networks, NTT DoCoMo is eager to cooperate with other key players in the mobile communications industry to elaborate specific technical specifications based on a standardized mobile architecture,” said NTT DoCoMo President Keiji Tachikawa.
