Highlights from this issue of IMS
Testimonials

—"Fantastic job. No skimming allowed. I had to read it cover-to-cover. Excellent strategic perspectives exposed by very knowledgeable authors. Great job of selection and vetting. Particularly enjoyed Gruia, McHugh, and Dearing. Dearing's "Dark Side" could become the anchor of a TMC "industry watch".

—"This issue looks at IMS from a high altitude (interesting terrain below), I can imagine how future issues will "zoom in", just as today's news reports on TV give you the regional map and them zoom in on Baghdad, for example. Some tightened-focus article possibilities come to mind: There is a battle going on between Convedia (MOML/MSML) and Cantata (MSCML) over the markup languages to use with media servers (the MRF). Is MRFC-MRFP separation dead? (Everyone seems to have blown off H.248 for use in the MRF.) What about the related protocols and languages: VoiceXML, CCXML, SOAP, Java, Parlay, MSML/MOML/MSCML, MRCP. Who plays where? And since IMS does not specify the use of these standards, where does each fit in IMS? (I would be pleased to take on an assignment in the MRF area.) Looking forward to the next issue."
