Digital Convergence Summit London - November 2009

Digital convergence brings together the separate worlds of audio, video, data and voice communication services. This summit will explore current and emerging technologies that are blurring different sectors including telecoms and digital media as they attempt to migrate into one interoperable and merged sector to address the needs of a convergent world. The increasing uptake of broadband connectivity, super-fast internet and demand for digital content anywhere, anytime and any device is, as ever a continuing challenge, both from the Telecoms as well as from the Broadcast and media sectors.
