During the November 15 MWIF technical committee meeting in San Diego, the MWIF Board of Directors (BOD) presented our new strategic plan for 2002. This plan is the culmination of a development process that the BOD began in early September. The goals and key activities for 2002 developed by the BOD will move us closer to completing our mission. The objectives include:
Each of these objectives has a series of specific action items that will drive MWIF's activities in 2002. (Click here for details of the strategic plan.) We realize that market and economic conditions are changing, but our mission remains the same. The operators on the BOD who developed the objectives are committed to achieving these goals to realize the MWIF's mission for the benefit of the mobile Internet community. We are confident that the five objectives and key activities outlined in the plan will enable us to impact the industry. Year 2002 is going to be an exciting time for MWIF. Please join us as we continue to shape the future of the mobile Internet. Warmest holiday wishes, Dean Sirovica |
