Digital Media Convergence

Home

TV panels Convergence, for so long thought of as something about to arrive, is now very much with us.

Be it in the technology, media, content or distribution markets, things that were once distinct and competing are now converging at a rapid pace and it is this change which is having a profound effect on everyone in the value chain.

Convergence has the potential both to create and destroy value. Deloitte predicts that worldwide, it will lead to a $1 trillion shift in valuations and revenues in the converging sectors by 2010.
