NEW YORK-The convergence of telecommunications, media and technology is resulting in an increased demand for connectivity and access to digital content, according to a symposium co-hosted by GE Commercial Finance Global Media & Communications and NBC Universal earlier this month.
Another major theme that dominated the discussion at the symposium was that companies that are linking their growth strategies to consumer behavior and demand and are developing products that expand the capabilities of TMT convergence stand to reap the benefits of the sector’s growth.
“The TMT trend has evolved into a strategic, market-driven force for progress, with recent innovations in interactive, voice, video, data, content and computing creating new opportunities driven by customer demand for better value and simpler services,” said Robert Stefanowski, president of GE Commercial Finance Global Media & Communications.
The symposium, “Shaping the Future of TMT,” was held at NBC Universal’s headquarters. Concurrent with the event, GE and NBC Universal launched a vertical partnership to address the media and telecommunications industry.
