OMTP was an operator-sponsored forum serving the needs of each and every link in the mobile phone value chain by gathering and driving mobile terminal requirements. At its transition to WAC on 1st July 2010, there were nine full members: AT&T, Deutsche Telekom AG, KT, Orange, Smart Communications, Telecom Italia, Telefónica, Telenor and Vodafone and the support of two sponsors: Ericsson and Nokia. The complete mobile value chain was represented with operators as well as handset manufacturers, chip makers and software and OS developers.
During its lifetime, OMTP worked on tasks which created requirements for the enablers on mobile devices. This coordinated activity was designed to improve the services which could be delivered to customers through de-fragmentation which ultimately leads to benefits for the whole industry and for the end user.
The last major OMTP task in 2010 related to the rapid delivery of BONDI. It was this task which led to OMTP transitioning into the Wholesale Applications Community from July 1st 2010.
