Information technology, communication technology or telecommunications, consumer electronics (the radio, television, refrigerator, cassette recorder, DVD, Blu-ray disc, camcorder, camera etc. sub-industry of the electronics industry) and the entertainment or games industry were previously separate. All these sectors were developing according to some rules of their own. Their type of service, target group, market entrepreneurship, marketing etc. were different. For example - radio or television broadcasting, telephone conversation, online access to computers were all different and their services were also different. They were governed by separate policies, which were formulated by different policy makers. Data used in all these industries are text, audio, video, image, graphics, which can be expressed digitally.
Digital convergence is the combination of different technologies to integrate and effectively manage them in one medium. Telecommunications, data processing and voice and image technologies are combined. Today these four separate sectors have been merged for the sake of digital convergence.
