Sorts of Convergence and their impact seen from the operator Service Innovation Infrastructure Cost (IT/Network) Commercial Efficiency Technical Efficiency • Service Convergence • Place-Shifting • Device Shifting • Remote Self Care • Marketing Convergence • Single Bill • Single Price • Cross-Service Discounts • Convergent Architecture • Applicative Broker Engine • NGN/IMS architecture • Seamless Network Management
Building blocks and related technology choices Convergence to single technology choices in short and mid-term seems to be problematic
Example: Share common key technologies between the 3 DVB domains
Example: Reuse of DVB building blocks in TISPAN IMS-based architecture* *: There is a similar one for the NGN dedicated approach
Key topics that have been discussed: • Convergent Architecture for IPTV and IPDC • Convergent Services for IPTV and IPDC • Relation with other Standards Development Organizations • A second workshop on convergence will be organized later in the year
