Telecommunications convergence

Communication networks were designed to carry different types of infor-mation independently. Radio was designed for audio, and televisions were de-signed for video. The older media, such as television and radio, are broadcasting networks with passive audiences. Convergence of telecommunication technolo-gy permits the manipulation of all forms of information, voice, data, and video. Telecommunication has changed from a world of scarcity to one of seemingly limitless capacity.

The historical roots of convergence can be traced back to the emergence of mobile telephony and the Internet. The term properly applies only from the point in marketing history when fixed and mobile telephony began to be offered by operators as joined products. Fixed and mobile operators were, for most of the 1990s, independent companies. Even when the same organization marketed both products, these were sold and serviced independently.

The rise of digital communication in the late 20th century has made it pos-sible for media organizations (or individuals) to deliver text, audio, and video material over the same wired, wireless, or fiber-optic connections. At the same time, it inspired some media organizations to explore multimedia delivery of in-formation. Today, we are surrounded by a multi-level convergent media world where all modes of communication and information are continually reforming,

changing the way we create, consume, learn and interact with each other. Con-vergence in this instance is defined as the interlinking of computing and other information technologies, media content, and communication networks arisen as the result of the evolution and popularization of the Internet as well as the activi-ties, products and services that have emerged in the digital media space.

Telecommunications convergence, network convergence or simply conver-gence are broad terms used to describe emerging telecommunications technolo-gies, and network architecture used to migrate multiple communications services into a single network. Specifically this involves the converging of previously distinct media such as telephony and data communications into common inter-faces on single devices, such as most smart phones that can make phone calls and search the web.

Also included in this topic is the basis of computer networks, wherein many different operating systems are able to communicate via different proto-cols. This could be the first step to artificial intelligence networks on the Internet eventually leading to a powerful superintelligence via a technological singularity.
