The Information & Communications Technology Group at
Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce its Exclusive 2006 Quarterly Webinar on Tuesday, September 26, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. CDT / 11:00 a.m. EDT.
As the IMS architecture begins to gain mindshare, a few lingering issues remain. The briefing will focus on various topics of the IMS market and technology evolution including the following highlights: strategic and tactical reasons influencing a carrier's decision to embrace IMS, ROI considerations in a typical deployment, IMS services being rolled out (such as mobile video, fixed-mobile convergence and IPTV, among others), ongoing standardization initiatives (including the new A-IMS or Advances in IMS), business models and impact to endpoint clients.
"IMS will finally end the carriers' pursuit of the elusive 'killer app' and replace it instead with the search for the best 'combinational service' that will target a specific end-user segment," notes Frost & Sullivan Principal Analyst Ronald Gruia. "Operators will soon conclude that new revenue streams will be possible via the creation of new 'blended lifestyle services' enabling users to mix and match services such as push-to-talk, video sharing, voice conferencing and interactive gaming, among others."
Those interested in participating in the interactive webinar should send an email to Mireya Castilla - Corporate Communications at
mireya.castilla@frost.com with the following information: your full name, company name, title, telephone number, e-mail address, city, state and country. She will send the registration details via email upon receipt of the above information.
This briefing will benefit network equipment vendors, service providers, systems integrators, application vendors and all telecom industry observers at large, by analyzing a wide array of IMS concerns and providing insights of what the future holds.
