  6. Quotes about RCS

    1. “ There is also the lack of IMS capable devices until now, although that is changing with RCS [rich communications suite] capable devices. And it's only now that we're seeing the introduction of data services in mobile and the rise of mobile applications. LTE is also a major factor for the introduction of IMS which is starting to kick in. ”
      Aditya Kaul in Telecommunications - Regional - Ims revenues to grow 16% 2009-2014 - analyst
    2. “ It is therefore the telco operators that can provide the service that reaches everyone. It's that type of thinking that will come with RCS. CSPs can think about openness and interconnectivity, while OTT players provide more silos and think about closed interfaces. Obviously the open model will be more beneficial to the end consumers services—whether individuals, or enterprises seeking unified communications—as well as any combination thereof. ”
      In Rcs: Ims in new clothes, or a new fashion staple for forward thinkers?
    3. “ We see RCS as a strategic move by service providers that resonates well with customers. A move that could attract nearly 44 million subscribers by 2015. ”
