This document discusses emerging trends toward convergence in communications markets and focuses on how SIP profiles can benefit from convergence. It recommends the following action plan for service providers to successfully adopt a convergence model: (1) Start working now with Alcatel-Lucent on defining SIP profiles and services to support convergence; (2) Begin product development and trials of convergence services now to be ready for commercial launch in 2008; (3) Leverage existing prototype applications and services to trial convergence concepts with major operators. The goal is to get started immediately to be prepared for long-term success in converged markets.
