Summary

Fixed-Mobile Convergence - Status, Strategies and Opportunity in the Americas, a new Telecom Insider Report by the publisher, provides an overview of the state of fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) in the Americas region. The report draws from examples of FMC journeys and propositions from Americas operators to give an overview of the market conditions which lead to convergence as well as the evolution of the convergence market.

The report provides an overall introduction to FMC, its driving conditions and a comparison of the level of FMC market development in different regions. It also offers an analysis of the evolution pathway of convergence market development, and examines the different convergence models available in the Americas. Moroever, it analyzes the status of development of FMC in the Americas, looking at telco value propositions, FMC bundling, and growth strategies. Then the report dives into three operator case studies providing an overview of their FMC offerings, differentiation, and monetization levers in the Americas. The report concludes with recommendations for operators interested in pursuing FMC.

Fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) has emerged in some competitive markets as a way for operators to differentiate and pursue growth. In North America, FMC is a developed market, while in Latin America FMC is still developing. There are a number of market and regulatory conditions which support or hinder the development of FMC.

Scope

• Compared to North America, where some operators have pursued FMC as a central strategy, Latin America has seen a modest level of convergence.
• There is scope for more fixed-mobile convergence development in the Americas. However, the feasibility and entrance point of convergence depends on the unique conditions of each market and the profile of each operator.
