Convergence — Uncharted waters brim with business opportunities

View this page in: Français

With technology, content and distribution converging at unprecedented speed, we are in the midst of a change that is fast-moving, broad, uncharted — and brimming with business opportunities.

Technological innovations have given rise to an interactive, participative society where consumers now shape what, when and how they receive information — a sociological power shift that is changing the way we do business in Canada and around the world. As technologies converge to accommodate consumers' evolving demands for content, unique business opportunities are also emerging, allowing companies to offer new content, mobility, services and pricing never before possible.

At the same time, businesses are also converging like never before, with mergers & acquisitions, and new alliances forming among large technology firms, media and distribution companies, as well as in the wireless space.
