Investment will mainly be in software. Of course you need the hardware but next-generation hardware and architecture is coming into place independent of IMS. Internationally, in the last 2-3 years there have been major investments by telcos in the advanced ATCA architecture. So it is very likely that the next-generation architecture will be developed over ATCA hardware platform using the IMS architecture on the core network. But IMS is primarily about software. It does not mandate a particular hardware. How optimistic are you that telcos will promote non-voice services even if they have the infrastructure for it? The same is happening with 3G. Everybody knows that eventually it will be services that will drive the revenues. IMS is basically a hope in that direction.
