Fixed‑mobile convergence has circulated as a strategic talking point for the better part of a decade—often positioned as the next frontier for telco growth but rarely accompanied by hard evidence of commercial success.

FMC is no longer a pilot programme or a bundling experiment; it is a measurable revenue driver for telcos that have moved beyond the hype cycle and into operational execution.
