Plan Your Year: What’s in Store for
   2008

TM Forum significantly expands its programs to accommodate a converging industry.

The New Year will continue to see an acceleration of the convergence between communications, information and entertainment services and the businesses that support them. No longer in isolated stovepipes, these industries are simultaneously collaborating and competing on their services every day.

“Managing those services is what TM Forum helps service providers do, and as we move to an ‘any service, on any network and any device, anywhere, anytime’ world, the role and breadth of TM Forum is expanding significantly,” says Keith Willetts, Chairman of TM Forum.
