The FMCA was incorporated as a not-for-profit association under New York law in August 2006.
The purpose of this alliance was to encourage seamless integration of mobile and fixed telephone services (Technological convergence).
The member operators had a customer base of over 850 million customers and collaborated with member vendors towards accelerated development and availability of Convergence products and services in areas such as devices, access points and home gateways, roaming and innovative applications.
In order to accomplish its goals, the FMCA developed close relationships with leading Standards Development, Specification and Certification Organisations (SDO/Fora), including the Wi-Fi Alliance, Wireless Broadband Alliance, Home Gateway Initiative and 3GPP.
The FMCA was disbanded in March 2010, allegedly because of lack of demand for its services.
