Fixed-Mobile Convergence: Consumers and Business Models (Second Edition)

This report updates the current state of 3G deployments across the globe and analyzes the drivers for convergence between fixed and mobile networks. It explores new revenue opportunities coming out of the fixed mobile convergence trend and provides global forecasts for services and technologies built around fixed mobile convergence.

“Proliferation of mobile services based on 3G wireless technologies and in the future, 4G technologies, places pressure on the mobile operators to alleviate some of the bandwidth demand by offloading traffic onto fixed networks” said Harry Wang, Director of Mobile Research with Parks Associates. “Service providers are taking this opportunity to bring about a convergence in fixed and mobile services through innovative services with the aim of reducing churn and increasing ARPU.”
