One of the factors driving the technological revolution in wireless communications and Internet access is the unbridled global demand for voice, video, and data services. Changes from an industrial to an informational based society and the associated demand for enhanced communications services push the need for seamless access further. Currently, the domestic telecom service market is divided between fixed-line and mobile providers. As such, not only networks, but also operators and services are evidently divided into two markets. To meet the challenges of fixed-mobile convergence (FMC), carriers will have to radically rethink their approaches to new products and services development. They will need to create a varied portfolio of products and services and the ability to bring these to markets in weeks rather than months to gain competitive advantages. This study discusses the opportunities to exploit in Asia Pacific region in respect to FMC services deployment. It also addresses challenges faced by the key players in Asia Pacific region. In short, it is aimed to provide an extensive study on the opportunities and challenges that could be used to derive architecture for key players in the industry to outline suitable approaches to encourage mass market diffusion of FMC services in Asia Pacific.
