Telecom & IMS: Quote
Telecom & IMS: Quote: "IMS is a polygamist. It tries to marry all the protocols and hogs bandwidth resources, just as it should."
Vijay Anand's got a post up on Telecom & IMS that discusses a conversation he had on IMS. I agree 100% with the quote. IMS is to communication what middleware is to IPTV - soon even middleware would need to be IMS compliant :)
In fact, this is another reason why the operators who are investing heavily in IMS-ready platforms (and planning to have IMS systems) are the same operators who are maneuvering for a tiered Internet. They want to ensure that at least their IMS-compliant services get through even when the customers are watching something on Google Video or downloading a tv show from iTunes.
