  Quote Of The Month:
  
  ï¿½It looks like there’s a battle brewing with IMS, between the IMS architecture and the unified communications platform. Microsoft really put its stake in the unified communications ground, and the carriers are clearly trying to deploy IMS, using that as a way to help enable or grow hosted services and so forth, to the customer who wants to get an application that’s customized and fits for their business.�
