As far as I know not JAIN but Parlay is already adopted by 3gpp. Parlay is CORBA based, and could therefore support other languages "as well as" Java.

However, the platform on which the services are supposed to run (TelORB/Jambala) only supports C++ and Java. I don't see anybody porting Erlang to it. And why should you want to do it, when OTP provides all that TelORB provides?
