Fixed-mobile convergence (FMC), one of several iterations of the convergence trend sweeping the industry, has been a hyped concept over the past 18 months. In practice, FMC is just starting to take shape: Prototypical services for enterprise and home users are in place in the developed markets of Europe, Asia and North America; the launch of bundled services and VoIP over wireless local area network (WLAN), as well as industry consolidation and integration of networks and platforms around Internet Protocol (IP), are all pointing towards convergence.
The attraction of FMC lies in its promise: It seeks to enable the delivery of user-centric ubiquitous services, improve customer loyalty, and ensure capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operating expenditure (OPEX) cost reduction through a migration to IP. But FMC is as much a threat as it is an opportunity. Service providers stand to exploit new revenue streams and increase their share of the subscriber wallet. On the flip side, they will lose customers if they do not take action, and they possibly stand to lose revenue if they move to convergent packages.
Pyramid Research’s report entitled “Fixed-Mobile Convergence”, benchmarks major fixed-mobile convergence strategies and answers three key questions: Does FMC translate into value destruction or value creation for carriers? Which markets and providers will lead FMC globally over the next five years? What is the size of the fixed mobile convergent service opportunity, now, and over the next five years? The report analyzes the implications of IP convergence on fixed and mobile service provider revenue, analyzes the business case for the launch of convergent services for different types of operators, and ranks markets globally according to their readiness and suitability for fixed-mobile convergent services.
