This compilation of two works published in recent years, proposes that countries have much to gain if they understand and recognize the emerging forces of convergence and if they create the appropriate conditions for it to flourish. Although convergence may increase the complexity of market structures, it will nevertheless help extend access to a broader range of affordable ICT services, support innovation, and open new, unforeseen opportunities. Indeed, some of these benefits are already being realized in the developing world. The publication goes into detail on the definition of convergence, its typology, its implications for policymakers, and ends with a discussion of the regulatory framework that has emerged in response to multi-play services.
