What is the point of IMS? - 10 Oct 2006
Is IMS all about creating a platform for new generation networks, about reducing infrastructure costs, creating new revenue generating services or about enabling FMC? Or is it all of the above? Indeed, after a year of hype with little evidence of comprehensive roll-outs, and with operators already deploying new services and reducing cost, does IMS still matter? These were the key discussion areas of this month's Convergence World Roundtable during which the participants tried to answer these questions, as well as providing a critique on IMS in 2006, and discussing the opportunities and challenges moving into 2007. This month's roundtable is sponsored by Apertio.
