This document discusses services convergence and its impacts. It begins by looking at the pre-convergence landscape where communication services were separated into two islands. It then discusses how convergence has led to one big island through mobile computing. This convergence has had several direct and indirect impacts including new values and commodities covering daily life aspects, new schemes for distributing value among multiple ecosystem players and business models, and new opportunities and threats as well as clashes between legacy and new business models.
