Speakers Name: Dr. Anand R Prasad
Title of the talk: Is junk-box the future for IMS services?
Date & Time (Keynote-III) : 14.00 to 15.00 on 12th December 2008
A brief overview of the keynote address: 40% - 70% of e-mails are spam where spam is the common term used for bulk Unsolicited Communication (UC). Success of spam lies in the beauty and success of Internet and computing: negligible cost of sending, automated means of creation and delivery, and global reach. When mobile, with its ubiquitous reach, meets Internet in the form of IP Multimedia Subsystem or IMS based communications then the Pandora?s box of unsolicited communication (spam, spit, spim?) will open in the mobile networks. The havoc this can create and the burden this will place on the mobile communications industry and society is unprecedented. Knowing this, 3GPP and ETSI TISPAN has started work on prevention against unsolicited communication. Other SDOs like IETF, ITU, OMA and GSMA are also looking into this issue.
