5:30 PM -- Here's the thing, some of our readers are pretty sure that VoLGA is dead, but it seems nobody remembered to tell T-Mobile International AG .

The international mobile operator is currently using the Voice over LTE via Generic Access specification for LTE test calls.

"This serves as a first step to prepare networks for the industry-agreed mid- and long-term solution for voice over LTE that will be based on IMS," says Uwe Janssen, senior vice president of core networks at Deutsche Telekom, in a release. So what do you think readers? Is VoLGA truly dead, or does it have at least a limited life as a stop-gap before IMS? — Dan Jones, Site Editor, Unstrung
