You think about it on the train, during your long and miserable commute. Sandwiched in between rude people blabbing away on their cell phones, you gaze in enviously at the people happily cocooned in their own little worlds, blissfully transported to fantasy land as they enjoy whatever they happen to be watching on their iPods.

You want to be one of those people. You want to be able to block out the noise and misery of the train with an episode of Heroes or an old episode of Seinfeld.

But to no avail, the secret of loading DVD to iPod continues to elude you.

Australia Falling Behind in Fixed-Mobile Convergence

In the past five years, there have been much discussion and developments on fixed-mobile convergence (FMC), a concept that puts the user - rather than technology - at the centre of communications, and one that will shift the industry's focus from quality of service (QoS) to quality of experience (QoE). FMC is poised to be the next battlefield and future hope for the Australian telecom market - one which has been plagued by the increasing irrelevance of legacy technologies and heavy commoditisation. FMC in Australia, however, has so far been about talk, and little action.

Recent research into the state of play of Australia's FMC reveals that the country is at serious risk of falling behind other comparable markets, with commercialised offerings and notable consumer and business adoption not expected until 2010. That puts Australia three to five years behind Europe, North America and certain economies in Asia.

Australia is going through a five-phase FMC evolution: Commercial Convergence, Product Feature Convergence, Access Replacement, Device and Access Convergence, and Full FMC. Despite FMC discussions, pre-convergence strategies, such as bundles and single voicemails, which have been used for over a decade remain dominant as churn-reducing and value-adding strategies in the Australian market.

In 2008, FMC push is expected to come from mobile operators, who will heighten their Access Replacement efforts, also known as fixed-mobile substitution strategy, while Device and Access Convergence, involving dual-mode WiFi/3G handsets, will not gain momentum until 2009. Full FMC, utilising IMS functionality and offering service convergence on any device and any network, is not expected in Australia until 2010. Australian mobile-only operators with no revenue cannibalisation threats, appear to be more open and aggressive in pursuing FMC strategies.

International case studies show that full-service carriers with fixed and mobile services (such as France Telecom and NTT) experience more success with their FMC launches, compared to single-service operators (like BT or T-Mobile). Nonetheless, Australian full-service operators like Telstra and Optus, while technically best positioned to offer FMC, were found to be reluctant to discuss their FMC strategies. For full-service providers, legacy organisational structures and a lack of proper commercialisation plans tend to be a larger inhibitor to the introduction of FMC services than do technical issues.

Full-service operators are expected to begin trialling FMC services in Australia in the second half of 2008, with a small number of trial business users. Commercial offerings available to the wider market will likely become available in 2009, initially targeting business users. Notable FMC adoption by both consumers and businesses is not predicted until 2010. Even then, Australia will only see 50,000 FMC users - a very tiny fraction of the country's mobile and broadband user bases.

The industry needs to move quickly or risks falling seriously behind in FMC, which means Australian telecom users will be shielded from advanced and competitively-priced converged services their overseas peers have been enjoying. Leadership from the country's leading telcos will be key in this process.

Mobile Broadband Comparison - Is Fixed Line Broadband Dead?

Mobile broadband is now affordable, fast and is a serious challenge to fixed line broadband such as DSL or cable. In the UK, there are currently just a handful of providers that offer internet access via high speed mobile networks. Portable broadband connections open up a wide range of new possibilities including:-

  • High speed Internet access on your laptop whilst you are mobile.
  • A real alternative for fixed line broadband.

Could these factors spell the end of standard fixed line broadband in the near future? Read on to compare how new the portable mobile connections stack up against standard fixed connections.

These days, it's cheap to get a decent broadband connection that operates over mobile phone networks using High Speed Download Packet Access (HSDPA). These new high speed mobile networks let you get speeds of up to 3.4 Mbit/sec or higher. Our broadband speed test shows fixed line broadband connections typically average 3Mbit/sec.

Mobile broadband coverage is getting better all the time too. Pretty soon, you will be able get high speed portable broadband in most areas in the UK.

Broadband using mobile high speed networks is a real alternative to fixed line in terms of price and speed and availability / coverage.

It is now possible to enjoy broadband at home without having fixed line DSL or cable. If you also use a mobile phone at home, it begins to raise the question of why have fixed line phone line or cable connections at all? In the UK, fixed line rentals are typically around 15 / month. If you remove this fixed line, you save over 180 per year. With deals on 3G HSDPA connections coming in at around 15 per month, you can get essentially the same broadband but with the added advantage that you can take it on the road too.

Whilst there is no doubt that mobile broadband has come of age, finding the best package is not always that easy. Comparing packages should be simple. However, with a wide variety of different tariffs, discounts and contracts on offer, it's easy to get confused. However, if consumers are able to easily compare packages, they can make informed decisions about which option best is best for them. This saves money as well as getting the best technology fit for their computer platform (e.g. Mac or PC).

Is fixed line broadband heading for extinction? It's inevitable that the fixed line providers will come up with better propositions is terms of price, service and free extras in order to compete with the mobile providers. At the moment, it's anyone's game but mobile broadband is now presenting some serious competition perhaps for the first time ever.
