Path to Convergence.

This article reports that IMS Corp., made its way to the U.S. with little fanfare. Announcing its vendors for an upcoming 3G rollout, Sprint Corp., briefly noted that it would be deploying the new technology in its network core. Sprint maintains the decision was an easy one. It has both wireline and wireless networks and has committed to breaking down the barrier between them. As the first major carrier to commit to a full IMS rollout. Sprint sent Lucent Technologies Inc., to the top of the pile in the IMS space. With only a handful of carriers publicly trailing IMS and even fewer committing to full deployments.
