At the November meeting, about 90 people attended the Mobile
Multimedia Messaging Service BOF:

But the mailing list has been dead:
http://www.imc.org/ietf-mmms/mail-archive/threads.html
MMMS-related topics seem to be fairly prevalent on the general
IETF discussion list, with a lot of general agreement that the
status quo has some real problems.
Has anyone started on a working group charter?
There needs to be an organized effort to provide explicit and
well-documented alternatives to the closed-protocol,
pseudo-internet mobile access consortia, who are a real barrier
to easy and reasonable mobile multimedia messaging services.
I for one would certainly contribute a great deal of time and
effort to the success of such a working group.
Cheers,
James
