Both have been ratified and products are available from a number of vendors. Despite the many advantages which IMS promises there are still some significant questions hanging over it. SIP stacks are available on a number of devices, and are becoming increasingly available, particularly in 3G devices. Carriers and vendors also claim that IMS can be used to enable applications for GPRS devices. Applications Development Fixed-to-Mobile Convergence From call to Session Questions Benefits It is less clear if there are alternatives which provide similar advantages as IMS provides. There is also a question over the degree of cost efficiency to be gained. VoIP service providers such as Skype are or could enable many of the applications and benefits made possible by IMS. ? IMS is a way for the operators to retain control. By integrating access and services, the operators keep control of the customer, and make it more difficult for them to simply use them for network access. ? Interoperability is also a key IMS b
