And the release quoted Professor Willie LU, chair of WWC'2007, saying: "The future mobile phone will be first, a computer, then an Open Wireless Architecture (OWA) terminal." Well he should know, because OWA is his baby! AT first reading this seemed like a major industry initiative devoted to mobile communications using an industry conference to unveil its latest developments. So, intrigued I did some digging and found that the conference, the company that organises it, the OWA and the converged phone are all the creation of Willie Lu. Not only is he the chair of WWC'207 but he is chairman and chief architect of the owner of the WWC Events, The Delson Group, which also owns the OWA initiative. Described on its web site as "A Delson Group proprietary R&D project funded by "Mission 2020" R&D Plan." |
