Reader Reviews
This book is a complete waste of time. Three quarters of the book is irrelevant, with the author dabbling in social theories (The Boomers vs Gen X vs The Millenials), the history of tech and telecom, "imagine this..." pie in the sky scenarios that describe what IMS is supposed to deliver, and a thick glossary of tech and telecom terms. One gets the feeling that the author had an obligation to fill a certain number of pages but couldn't do so on a nascent topic such as IMS. Don't waste your time or money.
