LONDON (Reuters) - The mobile phone industry is planning to speed up the development of cheap, mass market 3G handsets to make mobile Internet and multimedia services available to more users, an industry body said on Tuesday.

The GSM Association (GSMA) said in a statement that a group of its operator members would work over the next few months on establishing a core set of common features for 3G handsets to create the economies of scale for making cheaper handsets.
