IMS of LUCENT becoming the focus of the market

LeeDoyle, analyst of IDC, says "IMS will draw the attention of most of the large enterprises on the market." As Dowjones says, the operators are using different dedicated network for the fixed/wireless service and Internet-based service.

IMS can control all these networks through one single system to make the whole flow smooth and efficient, and lower the requirements for basic infrastructure and capital input.
