There is a fundamental networking error in this article - you cannot mix
streaming and non-streaming services on an IP network without
astonishing inefficiencies and not very reliable streaming. Anyone
who's used internet streams will know that they are not reliable,
whereas a phone call will just stay up.
The solution is the use of 3-mode networking, with PBB-TE for streams,
and IP for messages and files.
IMS technology has been under standards development for about 15 years
now...
