In
1991 John Scully, then CEO of Apple Computer gave an presentation at
Harvard University on his vision for the convergence of digital
devices. He outlined here the coming convergence of Computers,
Consumers Electronics and Telecom. Scully's Vision still holds today
and he was one of the first that mapped out the future of convergence
in the 1990's.
Convergence of Telecom and IT Industry
The
convergence of Telecoms and computers have already happened with the
major installations of IP telephony in the corporate world and the
broadband installation of IP telephone over broadband in the home. Also
the popularity of the Skype internet phone program have in many ways
altered the cause for modern telephony and its integration with the
computer industry. |
