| Abstract | The telecommunications industry is in the midst of the trend of IP (Internet protocol) convergence, with the shift from circuit-based networks to IP packet-based networks being driven by the new rich service innovation opportunities and cost savings they offer. Currently, the domestic telecom service market is divided between fixed-line and mobile providers. As such, not only networks, but also operators and services are evidently divided into two markets. On top of these, fixed-line services and wireless services are offered via separate terminals. The merits of fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) become clear when both fixed and wireless services can be accessed at the same time via a single terminal, and users only receive one bill from a single telecom operator. This study presents the principal classes of stakeholders who will participate in the FMC industry and give an overview of their business models on a formalised ontology. The research looks into the industry from multiple perspectives concerning the technologies, services, networks and users. The approach taken in this study is inclusive instead of restrictive; including a number of services delivered through mobile or fixed-line devices, whether it is a fax machine, mobile phone, a personal digital assistant or a handheld gaming device, etc. In this manner, it is possible to deal with foreseeable convergence of the various technologies. The study also tries to collate and rationalise possibilities and restrictions of existing and emerging FMC technologies with respect to the business model. The study concludes with a number of usage scenarios to reflect the emerging opportunities in the FMC value Web |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
