Synopsis Emerging technology can be defined as a “science-based innovation with the potential to create a new industry or transform an existing industry”. The convergence of the Internet, telecom, cable, satellite, computer, entertainment and information industry has created a digital revolution. This digital revolution has driven convergence within the IT and telecom industries and has radically redefined the landscape of these industries across the globe. Today, convergence in the telecom sector seems to gain momentum. It is looking ahead for value growth opportunity among players, maturing demand among customers, regulations to increase competition in telecom services market and new wireless technologies that can make convergence possible and cost disruptive. The latest trend of wireless telecom has created a revolution in personal as well as business communications. Usage of technologies like Wi-Fi, Wi-Max, VoIP, Broadband, GPRS, GSM and Bluetooth has become common in business organizations and service providers. Emerging technologies and new telecom standards have made it possible to rely on a single network to address all personal and business communications. Regulations need to be rationalized to address the emerging wireless and wire-line technologies so that the telecom service providers can reorganize and formulate new strategies to meet the growing customer demand.
