Abstract :
Truly ubiquitous and seamless integration of wireless networks and services will require clear interfaces between IP and telecom. Today, the intersection of IP and telecom contains uncharted waters, ungoverned by any standards, de facto or otherwise. Before conflicting standards and technologies arise, the Iceberg project is exploring the research issues in establishing the interfaces-and it aims to answer some hard questions along the way
