The International Packet Communications Consortium (IPCC), an international trade association dedicated to the advancement of VoIP over broadband cable, wireline and wireless technologies, has rebranded itself IMS Forum and claims to be "The Voice of IP Convergence".
Its mission will be to accelerate the adoption of IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS) by providing an environment for discussion and resolution of real-world implementation issues, such as interoperability and standards-based architectures in the application layer.
The Forum will also provide consultancy and expertise to the industry on best practices and approaches for IMS rollouts, interconnectivity and convergence.
Chairman and president, Michael Khalilian, said: "With VoIP proliferation continuing at a very aggressive rate, it has become quite clear that we are going through a major transition toward IP multimedia convergence and are witnessing the dawn of a new era of communications driven by bundled services, applications, multimedia content delivery, and telecommunications convergence."
