  that accesses multiple services across multiple
  access technologies (e.g., multi-purpose cell
  phones, organizers or storage devices)

Device Convergence

• Combining multiple access-based services to
  create a unified user experience with a single
  service offering (e.g., mobile/broadband roaming,
  unified messaging or location services)

Service Convergence

• Combining separate networks (voice, data, video,
  etc.) and support systems to create a unified
  networking infrastructure
