Led by consumer
demand, fixed mobile convergence (FMC) is taking off around the world, even as
businesses watch from the sidelines, says a new study from Insight Research.
According to the new market research report, over the next five years FMC will
generate more than $35 billion in revenue for service providers and hardware
vendors. FMC service allows the same handset to access telecommunications
services through both fixed and cellular networks. The handset, which can toggle
between fixed and mobile calling, can also leverage WiFi hotspots, voice over IP
(VoIP) technology, and voice over wireless local area networks (WLANs).
According to the
study, Fixed Mobile
Convergence: Single Phone Solutions for Wireline and Wireless, 2007 – 2012,
consumer demand is driving sales. Insight’s study found a much slower
adoption rate by enterprises because there was little economic incentive
for either wireline service providers or cellular providers to promote FMC. It
would mean revenue-generating calls would be moved off of their respective
networks and onto the enterprise’s WLAN.
“FMC represents
another telecommunications area where the US is trailing developments in Europe
and Asia,” says Insight president Robert Rosenberg. “Europe was first to adopt
FMC solutions, and it is forecasted to continue investing in the
technology. In the US, however, the largest incumbents are replacing declining
access line revenue with revenue derived from the sale of both wireless and
broadband services, so there is little incentive at present to push FMC to
consumers,” Rosenberg concluded.
