Is FMC the 'real' convergence?

摘要

VoIP convergence used to mean a bunch of softswitches, media gateways, replacing Class 5 switches and — not accidentally — spending telecom dollars that used to be spent on traditional TDM on VoIP voice instead. Not much of that ever happened. Today carrier planners at all levels are focusing on a new kind of convergence — fixed-mobile convergence (FMC). This time may be the charm.
