Fixed Mobile Convergence

Gartner on Mobility

The number of enterprise mobile phones in North America will overtake the number of fixed access lines, tele-workers and desktop phones by 2011.

Enterprises increasingly continue to move to corporate liability and support of mobile phones for voice and data services.

Enterprises are becoming aware of the growth of mobile lines, but have not fully defined the expense for supporting mobile phones yet.
