"Convergence takes on a new meaning when online charging coupled with customer-centric policy management is introduced into the CSP's business model. Convergent charging is essential, of course, but the customer experience is what dictates ultimate success or failure. Convergence not only of prepaid and post pay billing along with giving customers a level of control in using their services, but also of the customer database and product catalog is vital in creating a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts."  Karl Whitelock, Senior Consulting Analyst, Stratecast A Division of Frost & Sullivan
