I’ve lost count of the articles and presentations I’ve seen recently, loudly proclaiming that VoLTE represents “The Future of Mobile Voice”, or worse, “Allows telcos to compete against [so-called] OTTs”. The run-up to MWC is likely to generate even more breathless and gushing tributes of this type.
But this is all nonsense. VoLTE is most definitely NOT the future of mobile voice. It’s just the past of mobile telephony, with a lick of very expensive IP paint.
