The thing is - until LTE happens, no mobile VoIP anyway. And once it does (and it will, maybe under a different name or technology), mobile providers will be ready with their own IP infrastructure that will most probably include IMS. That's a lot of IF's and Maybe's and Probably's, but I'd bet that they will happen. Just not during 2010...

So is LTE, so is IMS. All talk, no action. Nah, they were united on Wimax and that is a simple slush fund. So is LTE, so is IMS.

This hasn't changed. While people communicate in other means these days as well, I don't see this changing. Cable providers are already using VoIP services. Others will follow suite. The fact that mobile operators are still committed to IMS after all this time means something. The fact that they are now focusing on the current services they provide means they are still in the game and in a way that startups will have challenges dealing with. Tsahi Paul & Johnny,

The same thing was said about Wimax and it is nowhere. A press release does not make a business. I think you counted your chickens way too early, and you will not have any dinner nor breakfast for that reason. Exactly, you feel prophetic based on simple press releases, nothing substantial.

Skype, Google and others are building products, and probably have the momentum to do as they wish. It’s nice to have standards love-ins, but usable products trump standards.
