Fixed Mobile Internet Convergence
Googling Fixed Mobile Internet Convergence shows us that the convergence has really taking off now... The signs were allready out there but September news has confirmed many of our little doubts... Here's our own news mashup. Feel free to create your own strategic picture and if not, feel free to contact us grin

Mobile Operator Mobistar started offering offering ADSL connectivity in Belgium. Check this Cordless Internet Telephony Kit from LinkSys.

Google launched Google Talk and is definately moving into the Wi-Fi Arena. Just fresh: Google offers free WiFi to San Francisco...

eBay bought Skype and is now entering into the mobile space - or what did you expect? Skype was allready available for PocketPC in April this year. We use Skype here perfectly to call (to fixed or mobile) from Spain to Belgium, France, Uk and Finland and vice versa. Now you can also Skype with ringtones and pictures but Skype has also signed its first agreement with a mobile telecoms operator (E-Plus, Germany's third largest mobile operator - E-Plus has 9.8 million subscribers), taking its low-cost services beyond the desktop and on the road. We haven't tried the IPdrum Mobile Skype Cable though yet...

We can keep going for a while like this but this should be enough to ring a bell, no? To us, a new era has arrived... Mobile as we knew it is gonna be definately different from now on...
