Growth in the information and communication technology (ICT) sector
has exploded over the past 20 years. Continuous dynamic market and
technology developments in this sector have led to a phenomenon
known as convergence, which is defined in this volume as the
erosion of boundaries between previously separate ICT services,
networks, and business practices. Some examples include cable
television networks that offer phone service, Internet television,
and mergers between media and telecommunications firms. The results
are exciting and hold significant promise for developing countries,
which can benefit from expanded access, greater competition, and
increased investments. However, convergence in ICT is challenging
traditional policy and regulatory frameworks. With convergence
occurring in countries across the spectrum of economic development,
it is critical that policy makers and regulators understand and
respond in ways that maximize the benefits while mitigating the
risks. This volume analyzes the strategic and regulatory dimensions
of convergence. It offers policy makers and regulators examples
from countries around the world as they address this phenomenon.
The authors suggest that countries that enable convergence are
likely to reap the greater rewards, but the precise nature of the
response will vary by country. Hence, this book offers global
principles that should be tailored to local circumstances as
regulatory frameworks evolve to address convergence.
