"The MOU outlines a non-binding framework for collaboration that leverages the complementary strengths of both communities -- [the foundation’s] open source ecosystem and ATIS’s standards development leadership,” a news release said. The groups will “work to harmonize industry efforts, identify gaps and drive alignment on key priorities across the telecom landscape.”
