The Open Mobile Terminal Platform (OMTP), an operator-sponsored technology neutral forum responsible for gathering and driving mobile terminal requirements, has published a white paper advising networks to unlock VoIP services on handsets.
The (OMTP), which counts Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile and 3 as well as Nokia, Motorola and Ericsson among its members, has suggested in its recently published white paper that operators are entitled to either remove or lock VoIP apps on handsets which they subsidise but must allow subscribers to unlock these applications after the initial contract has expired.
This paper is hot on the heals of a recent study from Coleman Parkes which found that UK businesses use of mobile VoIP is set to climb steeply over the next 2 years.
It seems that the only ones left who don’t think mobile VoIP is a good idea, are the carriers.
