SK Telecom are at the bleeding edge of market, and provide important learningpoints for other markets on VoLTE and RCS deployments. I reviewed the South
Korean Market here: http://alanquayle.com/2013/04/is-south-korea-the-exce tion-or-the-rule

SK Telecom launched VoLTE in mid-2012 and it supports video communications
from launch unlike RCS (they use RCS for messaging not voice/video comms)

NO PREMIUM PRICING for HD Voice. Also given the wasted effort in manypointless standards, VoLTE interworking is critical and its not yet done!

Key is they got it working across all operators in Korea country focus hence whyMetroPCS will continue to languish as AT&T and VZ wait for RCS to mature.

Theyve modified the Joyn brand further proof that Joyn brand makes no sense presence shows what you can do not some brand that overlaps the telcos brand and
requires fees to be paid for the GSMA for a free service!!!! Why are telcos paying theGSMA twice membership fees and Joyn fees?

Note interworking is essential, standards are only beneficial! Its all about the
customer experience. Free is critical to compete with the other internet-basedservice providers like Kakao Talk.

These are the drivers commonly quoted by most telcos. Finally close down the old
PSTN and move to all- IP (get rid of lots of other silos). Its a cost saving argument the most powerful telco argument.

Here is where the complexity explodes, and often failures at the interface between ITand Network Engineering HSS failures or AS failures

Complexity is a problem. Many operators at the event talked about it. Someoperators pointed to ACME Packet and their work to simplify the mess and had
favorable comments on their deployments of Acmes IMS core. Huawei showed anIMS proxy to simplify VoLTE deployments. So there are ways to simplify the
implementation depending on the telcos needs. This is a multi-decade transition,
some operators are already 10 years into the migration. However, technology ismoving fast, other choices could soon open up between IMS and do nothing.

Some (not all) services must be migrated. Needs to be an integrate experience
investment in RCS can help there. Experience trumps everything!

Interesting that RCS may not replace RON, even through the functionality is very
similar shows the importance of APIs for the services to embed where it mattersfor the customer and their use cases.

My view is RCS should adopt Opus as a matter of urgency. Open Source trumpsOpen Standards which are lagging by several technology generations these days.

Rather than the current slow burn on RCS, i.e. deploy but dont tell anyone untilpenetration is high enough (whatever penetration that is, 100%?), operators should
focus on vertical solutions, to get up the learning curve faster.

Iusacell mentioned a common problem that many Telcos in the audience laugh atgiven the common painful experience, the stability of the Rf interface, see next slide.
The solution: as so many of the many IMS messages carry redundant information you can infer what happened this is the reality of IMS for many Telcos.
