The harmonization of 3GPP/3GPP2 IP Multimedia Core Networks is a worthwhile and achievable goal. This should be pursued urgently by both PP groups. Focus the harmonization efforts to areas where synergies already exist with priority given to the harmonization of: OSA / PARLAY based service APIs. IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS).
