Talk:Device Management
Mobile vs. General
[edit]This page is too specific to mobile devices. I suggest we move most of the mobile content into an entry for "Mobile Device Management" and keep this page general to all devices (e.g. networking devices, set-top boxes, etc.) 147.11.17.201 (talk) 17:36, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Device Management and Management Authorities
[edit]Device management (DM) solutions are deployed by and managed by "Management authorities", such as an operator or an enterprise. In theory, multiple management authorities can manage a device. However, current standards in DM do not adequately support multiple management authorities. The next generation of DM standards are likely to address that (in the 2009-2010 period). The latest version of DM standards from the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) is 1.2. A 2.0 version is not likely to be released until 2009.
