| Popis: | This paper discusses digital convergence from mobile device perspective. Convergence is viewed as a combination of device, radio, network and services convergence. Device convergence means that mobile devices become much more than a phone, they turn into a mobile computers. In radio convergence several standards are competing but wireless broadband is the end result and modem develops into a multiradio. From network convergence point of view different access technologies offer seamless connectivity and hide the network from end user with best possible performance. With service convergence mobile devices become true nodes of internet when devices are capable to act both as a client and a server. Device, radio, network and service convergence is resulting into a new use of internet. |
