Convergence definition

Convergence means the definition of network architecture that allows for voice, video, and data communications to run over a single (converged) network.

Convergence means a number of very different things in the political and economic discourse of the EU. For a long time it was understood to mean the alignment of (per capita) income between regions or states. Within the EU the notion of cohesion was co-opted for this purpose. In particular with regard to convergence of incomes between regions, which it has pursued since 1973 (first enlargement) with one of its biggest programmes, the structural and regional funds, the EU publishes regular reports.2

Convergence means that those lines are blurring. However, convergence is often understood in a shallow manner, as simply the opportunity for owners of one type of delivery system to compete with another type of delivery system, or as the opportunity for content owners to deliver their content using different technologies. In reality, convergence is something far more fundamental. "Deep convergence" is driven by a powerful technological trend -- digitalization. Digitalization means that all of the formerly distinct content types are reduced to a stream of binary ones and zeroes, which can be carried by any delivery platform.9 In practical terms, this means not only that specific boundaries -- between a telephone network and a cable system, for example -- are blurred, but also that the very exercise of drawing any such boundaries must be fundamentally reconsidered or abandoned.

More Definitions of Convergence

Convergence means the approximation or alignment of something within the innovation project and something from outside, such as elements of innovation entering the general policy in a sector or vice versa that what generally happens fits well with activities in the innovation project. An example is the state forestry policy in Trentino, which was pursued far after the start of the project. The policy relies on participative forms that fit well to the interaction with stakeholders in the project. Thereby the project suddenly acts as a pilot for major politics. Convergence also includes the fusion of the innovation with something that already exists outside of the project.

Convergence means that the theory describes how countries become, instead of being on a similar policy level (Bennet 1991: 219). Policy convergence is a relatively new theory. Founded in the late eighties it describes how globalization will drive countries to become more similar; through policy convergence. One of the first definitions has been formulated by Kerr: "the tendency of societies to grow more alike, to develop similarities in structures, processes and performances" (1983: 3). In his book he describes how industrial countries tend to become more similar over time. In highly developed countries as in Western-Europe countries are becoming more and more similar when it comes to economic structures, processes and most important performance. As with OCA theory many authors have contributed to the development of convergence theory. One of the sub-theories in this field is the policy convergence hypothesis. Policy convergence hypothesis claims that in advanced industrial countries structures and processes tend to convergence because of policy convergence
