I've been in the telecom biz since 1979 and convergence has been the word the whole time - ISDN, fiber to the home, ATM to the desktop, now IP everything. Networks have gotten more complicated every year, not less.

My father was a civilian employee of the Defense Dept and I can remember as a teenager in the early 60s reading some publications from the Air Force Institute of Technology that preached convergence, convergence, convergence. For everything that has converged since then, 10 things have diverged and it will ever be so.
