Summary
This report addresses the key drivers and inhibitors of convergence and identifies the ‘state of readiness’ of the UK in terms of our current ability to achieve the significant benefits of convergence. We have conducted a readiness gap analysis for each of the six key convergence enablers: consumer awareness and demand; device convergence; content innovation and investment; infrastructure innovation and investment; commercial innovation and the policy and regulatory environment.
Finally, we have proposed a number of recommendations for industry, Government and regulators that are designed to help the UK to deliver more value and drive growth. We believe that with sufficient commitment, these recommendations are realistic, achievable and will benefit the UK. The IDCC, in partnership with other organisations, will continue to drive and monitor our progress.
