Are there promising resale opportunities with IMS?

The optimist would say that there are resale opportunities, because regulators will support IMS network resale just like they did for the PSTN. For an IMS network, all a reseller would need is a home subscriber server (HSS) and a billing system. The pessimist would say, no way! The FCC ordered PSTN resale in a 1970s-style business environment, and then took the competitive teeth out of the Telecom Act. Things are different now. Regardless, if a tier 1 is ordered to allow IMS resale, they wont build it.
