The Internet Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is a standard for negotiating connections intended to carry multimedia content over IP (Internet Protocol) networks. The simplicity of this definition belays both the complexity of the standard, and the impact its adoption will have on the telecommunications industry and beyond. By providing a standard communications infrastructure based on the ubiquitous IP transport layer, IMS offers the opportunity to converge voice and data services, as well as video calling and even television. While the standard is proposed and managed by the cellular industry, this report shows that it is the fixed-line and cable TV operators who will be amongst the first to feel the benefits of its adoption.
