The approach is similar to that used by UMA, except that GSM is used instead of using Wi-Fi as the edge technology. There has been a great interest recently in this type of solution as it allows mobile operators to compete more effectively against fixed operators and VoIP service providers, and offer better residential coverage and attractive new services (e.g. lower cost or flat fee plans when calling from home or from the office, similar to O2's Genion service in Germany).
