The press release which emerged in the wee hours of Friday morning - packet headers show a time of around 1.00 AM - would seem to indicate that there was an attempt to smooth over any previous disagreements. [See our earlier story about the formation of the Open Mobile Alliance.]

However, we think it was probably going too far to say, as the GSM Association's press release did, that "the formation of the Open Mobile Alliance is also entirely complimentary to the goals of the GSMA's M-Services Initiative ... "

That'll be "complementary," chasps ... unless your admiration has expanded rather surprisingly?
