3. About the Fixed-Mobile Convergence Alliance  The FMCA is a global organisation working closely with its members to provide a mutual learning platform to accelerate the development and availability of easy to use convergence products and services  Formed in 2004, incorporated as a not-for-profit trade association under New York law, USA, in 2006  Our members represent a global customer base of over 700 million customers  Our Board of Directors currently include: - Telecom Italia, Swisscom, BT Plc, China Telecom, Deutsche Telekom, Opus Singtel  We are NOT a standards development organisation, although we do promote the acceleration and adoption of convergence technologies by encouraging consistency across product and equipment standards  Our Operator and Vendor members collaborate in prioritised working groups to drive and accelerate the availability of convergence products and services www.thefmca.com

4. FMCA Vision Convergence at the heart of communications - allowing customers to access content and information, how, when and where they want it. FMCA Mission To be ‘the Voice of the Customer’ for the continued evolution of convergent services and to provide an enhanced customer experience The FMCA Vision & Mission

5. Today’s Customer Challenges…  Complex user experience to access converged fixed and mobile services  Incompatibility in devices, networks and services  Hassle connecting to networks  No seamless interconnection between networks  Multiple device choices  Confusing technology options and commercial terms  Customers involuntarily placed in the role of an ‘integrator’ for convergence solutions

6. Unified Access FMCA Objectives  To accelerate the availability of simple to use convergent products  To provide a mutual learning platform for members in a fast moving communications industry  To improve customer experience by contributing to and championing the adoption of global industry standards At public places Access from home & office Anywhere in the world $ Easy to use… instant connection HSDPAUMTSDSL

7. FMCA Strategy  Share customer insights, local market and product knowledge to support mutual learning and create a forum to share convergent business models (at least 50% of FMCA activity)  Identify the key attributes which create positive and negative customer experience and prioritise those which the FMCA can materially influence  Drive industry adoption of FMCA proposals and guidelines to improve customer experience by publishing and championing key enablers  Influence industry standards bodies via submissions and liaison agreements  Encourage and support interoperability and interconnection between members to enable global roaming and access to convergent services  Undertake and support trials to test and validate prioritised convergent solutions

8. FMCA Members 23 Member companies - over 700 million customers

9. FMCA Membership Benefits  Collaborative sharing and learning from like-minded global operators and vendors interested in convergence investments  Easily accessible information from members about their experience in developing, launching and maintaining successful convergence services  Testing innovation ideas and concepts between members and industry specialists  Provide guidance on potential commercial opportunities to support your business objectives  Influence standards organisations to ensure customer needs are understood and ease of use are at the forefront of their agendas  Join one of our convergence working groups to drive your local priorities  Discuss with members the future trends of the fixed-mobile convergence market  Understand and learn the convergence priorities from other operators and vendors

17. IOT / MIH Planned Event ‘Addressing the need for inter-access Seamless Mobility’ Learning and driving industry adoption For what? ETSI Plugtest event for the FMCA IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handover (MIH) When? 5 – 9 October, 2009 Where?ETSI Headquarters, Sophia Antipolis, FRANCE Overview: ETSI are hosting this Interoperability event for the FMCA to test IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handover (MIH) implementations. MIH is a new IEEE 802.21 standard that offers a number of services that facilitate heterogeneous access and network handovers. For this technology to be commercially adopted, it is vital that differing implementations of these services are tested between Operators and Vendors. Therefore, this event is key for any Operators considering MIH services in their current or future networks or Vendors with potential MIH-based offerings. This event is open to members and non-members of the FMCA Email alison.bunyan@thefmca.com to register you interest in this event as numbers will be limitedalison.bunyan@thefmca.com For additional information visit our website at www.thefmca.comwww.thefmca.com
