Abstract
Convergence of the fixed and mobile communication services (fixed and mobile convergence, or FMC) was the discussion subject for a panel session at the 6th IEE Conference on Telecommunications. Three invited speakers presented views from the perspectives of a fixed operator, a mobile operator and the business environment. This paper draws on the material presented and includes additional information to provide an updated overview of FMC. It also discusses the challenges that will be faced in realising the full vision of fixed and mobile service integration
