Learn how to manage the implementation of lower termination rates and how to develop effective interconnect costing models for Next Generation Networks
This document discusses convergence in the telecommunications industry from multiple perspectives. It defines various types of convergence including fixed mobile convergence, mobile to mobile convergence, and business and private life convergence. It explains that both carriers and customers need convergence, with customers wanting seamless access across all devices. Realizing convergence presents significant technical, business and legal challenges for carriers related to IT systems, services, and regulation. The key is developing customer-centric solutions rather than focusing only on technologies.
