History of Convergence

The first conference in this series, organized in December 2002, on the theme Communications Convergence: The Multi-billion Indian Opportunity was successful in initiating new steps to bring together the Government and the Corporate sectors for promoting investments in Telecom and related areas.

The second conference, organized in January 2004, on the theme Communications Convergence: Bridging the Digital Divide was fruitful in identifying the challenges and opportunities before the Indian entrepreneur in taking the benefits of convergence to the people of India by phasing out the existing antiquated technology.

The third conference, held in February 2005, on the theme Communications Convergence: The Change Agent identified the impact of convergence on the common citizen in a democratic society at all the three levels, namely, Application level, Enterprise level and Service delivery level, leading to better quality of life.

The fourth conference was held in March 2006 on the theme Communications Convergence: Connecting India-The Global Challenge. The conference acknowledged that knowledge connectivity confers multiple economic and social benefits to the nation and communication connectivity is a key component of it. The formidable challenges posed by availability, accessibility and affordability criteria for nationwide connectivity were analyzed and the enormous business opportunities behind the planned increase in the rural connectivity were recognized.
