Fixed-Mobile Convergence: Building Your Action Plan
Pyramid Research, Inc, May 2005
Fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) is one of several iterations emerging from the convergence trend currently sweeping the industry. FMC is a much hyped concept, but what does it mean in reality? To begin, FMC is still in its early stages of development; in such markets as Japan, the UK and France, the first versions of converged networks and services are just being rolled out. The promise of convergence is undoubtedly appealing: enabling new value-added services, improving customer loyalty and cutting operating costs. But convergence (FMC, specifically) is a double-edged sword, and it is as much of a threat as it is an opportunity, service providers stand to exploit new revenue streams and increase their share of subscribers' wallets. On the flip side, they will lose customers if they do not take action, and possibly stand to lose revenue if they move to convergent packages.
The report entitled 'Fixed-Mobile Convergence: Building Your Action Plan', benchmarks major fixed-mobile convergence strategies and answers three key questions
1.)Does FMC translate into value destruction or value creation for carriers?
2.)Which markets and providers will lead FMC globally over the next five years?
3.)What is the size of the fixed mobile convergent service opportunity, now, and over the next five years?
This 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.
