Using IMS/OMA on a technical basis does not require to adopt the telco's 
business model.

E.g. IMS can be seen as an how-to achieve a scalable SIP infrastructure. 
IMS defines lots of proxies (S-CSCF, P-CSCF, I-CSCF, ...), but in the 
end it is a similar setup how big Kamailio installations are done today 
e.g. load balancers, outbound proxy are similar to the P-CSCF, the 
registrar is similar to the S-CSCF. Further, all the IMS components are 
logical, functional components and you can also put all these components 
into one node too.

Some people use direct DB backends, others use Radius, IMS uses Diameter 
(more or less the same as Radius).

And, of course, no carrier/telco is forced to create its VoIP 
infrastructure identical to the IMS defined architecture.

Probably IMS is a bit over engineered, but if you have big Kamilion (or 
Asterisk) installations, you also end up with distributing the logical 
components onto different nodes.
