A converged world

'Convergence' has been a buzzword for years - but it is rapidly moving from concept to reality.

It means that barriers to communication are rapidly evaporating. Voice, data, video and internet services - all previously separate types of communication - are becoming more compatible, more integrated. This means it will be easier to communicate between different devices and create exciting opportunities for new information and entertainment services.

The 21st century network is a new communication platform underpinning this progress.  By reducing barriers between different devices, it will give you more choice and flexibility, supported by greater reliability than ever before. It will give you more control of your services and the chance to make the most of new technology within your home.
