The announcement was made this morning at Mobile World Congress. In addition to the 24 carriers, the GSMA and three device manufacturers -- LG, Samsung and Sony Ericsson -- are also supporting the initiative. All combined, the group reaches three billion subscribers worldwide, making it the largest app-store initiative, according to "mocoNews."

The group intends on using common open standards that will allow developers to create apps across multiple platforms. Those standards include JIL, which Verizon, Vodafone and China Mobile have been working on, and OMTP BONDI.
