> Hello everyone
> 
> I'd like to announce a Telstra initiative which is a first for the
> Australian telecommunications industry and is designed to support the
> growth and development of the wireless data industry.
> 
> The Wireless Data Alliance Program will be launched in the media tomorrow
> and provides almost 70 local application developers, content suppliers and
> systems integrators with an unprecedented opportunity to develop and
> market wireless products and services.
> 
> While many of the companies are relatively new entrants in the
> marketplace, some impressive household names including IBM, Nokia,
> Toshiba, Microsoft and Oracle have decided to take advantage of the
> enormous business opportunities the alliance program offers.
> 
> Companies register at a "developers' zone" on the telstra.com website
> where details of their organisation, products and services are made
> available to Telstra sales representatives. Our sales teams are then able
> to use information on the site to mix and match the offerings of several
> firms to come up with data solutions for their customers and then put the
> customers and companies in touch with each other. Member companies can use
> the site to swap ideas, discuss technical issues and access information
> about the latest Telstra research into wireless data technology. 
> 
> Paul Rushton, marketing director of IT giant, Oracle Corporation
> Australia, is very enthusiastic about the alliance program. "There is
> clearly a burgeoning market for wireless access to business applications,"
> he said. "Telstra's Wireless Data Alliance Program is a great leap forward
> in this direction as it will give Australian business access to a range of
> new applications which can extend the reach of their business systems
> beyond the confines of offices."
> 
> The alliance program demonstrates our commitment to providing an open
> environment for potential customers to gain easy access to the latest
> wireless data innovations.
> 
> Greg van Mourik and his team of Pam Passas, Kate Howie, Roy Brown, Kieran
> Magee and Evelyn Cheung deserve congratulations for the work they put into
> the alliance program. Our business partners, sales teams and customers
> will all benefit from the continued development of the wireless data
> market.
> 
> We'll keep you updated about the progress of this and the other wireless
> data projects we're working on.
