“MEF has supported Telefonica with real world practical guidance, particularly around industry best practice and codes of conduct. It provides a forum to bring industry experts together, to problem solve, to share, and to network. We have found our membership to offer numerous benefits across our footprint, and long may this relationship continue.”
Jenny Whelan, TelefonicaGlobal Head of Business Communications and Digital Advertising
“Our membership in MEF and the Future of Messaging program afford us inner access to invaluable information on the direction of our industry and opportunities to foster collaboration with industry partners. We have also been able to advocate and influence industry changes at the highest levels, on issues like evolving business models and de-commoditizing mobile messaging. Being active in MEF has increased our industry visibility and allowed us to meaningfully contribute to the industry dialogue.”
Ira Cohen, MMDSmartVP, Business Development and Marketing
“One of the things I like best about Mobile Ecosystem Forum is its pragmatic approach to engaging and helping its members. As an example, I am thinking about the well organised and well led, working groups on Mobile IOT and on Personal Data & Identity which Mvine is involved in. The program leaders are particularly knowledgeable and always seek collaboration among members. This is a good thing. And it works.”
Joseph Spear, MvineDirector of Communications
“The MEF is the framework where relevant debates and significant initiatives to change our market take place. Telecoming, as well as other players of the mobile industry, participates with the firm intention of driving business growth in a healthy environment and promoting innovation. Our company was founded in 2008 on these two ideas, and since then, we have worked with the solid conviction of developing cutting-edge technology to lead the DCB market.”
