The first workshop for the MDI-ng was this week and included some great debates about Bluetooth, GPRS trials, global wireless internet roaming, wireless billing systems, J2ME on mobiles and various other good topics.

I will be posting the slides from the conference (if I'm allowed) for everyone to go and read, but in the mean time have a read through their site.

"This is MDI-ng
MDI-ng is the new Wireless Internet Initiative formed by industry leaders. It offers a unique opportunity to identify potential problems and solve them at an early stage. By looking at end to end solutions the group will help facilitate usage models, create forums for interoperability tests and roll out recommended solutions. The initiative addresses standards compatibility, application scalability between devices, security, reliability and ease of use"
