Evolution Of Convergence - Historical TimeLine
This view of convergence caught my attention. This is from the recently released research work by Ofcom, the regulator in UK. Obviously the text in this diagram has references to UK providers and services, but nonetheless it is a good snapshot. Despite the late start and domestic problems, Pakistan got in the game at a good time and has caught up with others.
 The report (page 20 of part 1) mentions the 3 major areas where convergence changes the playing field:
• Content – offering an opportunity for content producers to create use mixed-media formats (e.g. TV/interactive/web) and new ways to distribute existing content;
• Networks – upgrades that widen the capabilities and capacity of historically separate and single-purpose distribution infrastructure; and
• Devices – the creation of equipment that offers functionality typically delivered on stand-alone devices.
There’s plenty more in the 187 page report, in case you are interested.
