SDPs can enable a whole new generation of value-added consumer services that will halt the decline of fixed-line revenues and establish a foundation for the adoption of IMS-based multimedia applications, reports In-Stat (http://www.in-stat.com). Converged Voice Services (CVS (1) (Concurrent Versions System) A version control system for Unix that was initially developed as a series of shell scripts in the mid-1980s.
