I have a special treat for my readers today; A podcast interview with none other than Harald Braun, Head of Convergence Operators Customer Business Team at Nokia Siemens Networks. I know you remember the terrific interview Harald gave regarding similar topics last year. In today’s interview, Harald had some great feedback on the state and future of IMS and the the combination of the service provider divisions of Nokia and Siemens which is now Nokia Siemens Networks. Finally we discussed operational fitness and the need to foster innovation in IMS.
