Abstract 9 Tremendous changes in fixed and mobile networks are required to enable the Gigabit society, leading to enormous investments in network infrastructures (billions of €). In the past, fixed and mobile networks have been optimized and evolved independently. Today, standardization work and bodies dealing with fixed and mobile networks are still separated, and Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) is mainly implemented at service level with introduction of all IP services and IMS, allowing a converged service control layer. In contrast, COMBO will allow the convergence of fixed and mobile networks themselves, combining both an op
