4. The rich communication landscape
• New services and applications
have introduced a richer
communication experience
communication experience
outside the operator
environment
• Consumers increasingly expect
these rich capabilities on mobile
as well as PC

• No integration with user’s phone
book
• Diverged access creates a barrier
to discovery of new services
5. RCS objectives
• Use existing standards
• Increase the attractiveness of operator
I h i f
service offering by integrating social
presence and capability information
– Users see service capabilities and
Users see service capabilities and
communication methods available
• Establish services based around MSISDN
and operator networks

– For example messaging based on
MSISDN not plaform (MSN etc)
• Flexibility to gradually deploy new

• g p p
Shift from single‐purpose vertical
applications (e.g. video share, IM)
– integrated, multi‐functional framework
based around address book
• Integrate communication
– Mobile to Mobile and Mobile to PC
