      Handset OS Fragmentation is Here to Stay
      Dean,
      Frankly you went from confused to very confused. Using the intelligent device as a hub
      for ARBITRAGE and least cost routing? Come again? Are you sure you read networking 101? Dean, Arbitrage is NOT a networking term it applies to stocks and banking actuaries etc. An end device could certainly participate in getting its IP address via DHCP but other than that I do not think its running as a router from not the edge but attached to the edge- what next- run spanning tree on a bridge port attached device. IMS provides call control services and insures quality of service and underlying facility guarantees for a session/application that is presented on a weblet aka Web 2.0 Multimedia streams will utilize the control layers of IMS- NO THE APPLICATION and Presentation do not provide SERVICES to the session--again OSI model is still valid. Frankly the comment about the tail wagging the dog is not only showing of a complete lack of understanding of networks (and no they do not change all that much in spite of scale, size of bandwidthe used and the mediums) saying Bluetooth, USB, memory card-lol, USB etc. cellular WIFI are anything other than ways to talk DATA--its all IP DATA DEAN,,yep and some of it NEEDS TO BE REAL TIME..your disdain for oh so plain real time video/voice is clearly lacking of vision...are you saying if you could have a cheap version of Cisco TELEPRESENCE on a SONS driven IMS pure IP network with Cisco routers, a GOOGLE personal database running off an Oracle server housed in your Cell provider's Central Office and it provided a custom profile of content to you based on your profile and had all those data points at your fingertips-favorite restaurants, favorite people you talk to, allocated FAVORITEs mapped in quality of service tables mapped to different Service Level Agreements based on if you call WIFE, kids - voice/video REAL TIME. Your doctor calls the hospital to check on a patient- REAL TIME VIDEO AND VOICE IS NOT ESSENTIAL and it can be loaded by streaming non-real time at a 4 minute delay?
      A quick meeting can tolerate not seeing the associates face just as in a meeting with only a POLYCOM vs. a Telepresence meeting?
      Dean, get with the program. End devices that are built by stupid application widget C++ Object Oriented Vendors that still think using SKYPE VOIP is good enough are the bane of telecom as are the RBOCS and their snails pace...LOOK to British Telecom, and Carphone Warehouse to see the vendors that GET WHAT IT TAKE to design a NEXT GEN NETWORK.

      You are talking about things that make absolutely ZERO SENSE and I have worked in networks for 20 years Dean, so either you are so far ahead of me that I am lost or in fact not a lot has changed in the OSI model and it still applies even if MPLS supplanted ATM for QOS on the core..intelligence has always been closer to the edge and will move closer but NOT INTO THE HANDSET- the handset is a CLIENT IT DOES NOT DEFINE AND ALLOCATE NETWORK RESOURCES even if its the most privileged IT guys handset...nope OAM, SNMP, Control is all on the CO side as are network services. I still respect many of your articles but this is pure spaghetti logic and totally wrong Dean.
      Respectfully,
      Baba

      I do not see how you can say that web browser stuff is the cool stuff over video/voice real time-telepresence with QOS as the first killer app...sure WEB 2.0 is needed but it can ride on top of IMS and imho needs to...
      "driving the NETWORK ARCHITECTURE FROM THE view OF THE user of the HANDSET-and hence the myriad Vendors???? COME AGAIN???
      Designed net SW for 20 years and the end device does NOT Drive network design...okay to some extent the media that flows over it does but the OSI 7 layer model is not obsolete and to say applications dictate the basic types of QOS streams/MPLS tags and real time vs. non-real time is to miss the sun for the clouds Dean- most respectfully...
      Finally Apple OS as you call it is the UNIX Darwin kernel..
      it is not far from Linux and is in fact an open architecture.. Apple has opened it up for developers already....you way underestimate the iPhone IMHO..it will surplant RIMM in not too distant future...tell me what MSFT apps one needs for business that one can do on a Blackberry that you can not do more easily and intuitively on an iPhone over a Crackberry? Again most respectfully..

      You are still the best tech writer around on this subject so i hope you may reflect on my comments a bit..i think you are really not viewing IMS and WEB 2.0 correctly...they are not mutually exclusive..
