It is possible that the term "Converged Information Network" as well as "Converged IP" relates to NGN (Next Generation Network) or ALL-IP technology.

NGN is currently an emerging technology trend which has not yet stabilized sufficiently to provide a concise definition. Projected growth trend is 5 to 10 years.

A converged information network would be a network which provides transparent packet transport for voice, data, information, AND video using the IP (internet Protocol), independent of hardware or transport formatting.
