[edit] Triple play?

I have a problem with the definition of triple play. I understand the term as so described in Triple play (telecommunications), as Internet, voice and video provided through a single communication form . i.e. broadband or DSL. In this article it is refered to as any three communication services provided by the same operator.

I'm not about to change the section before there are concensus about the term, but either this article or the Triple play (telecommunications) should be altered.

Additionally I think the definition of quad-play is erroneous as well. I perceive it as triple play made airborn through mobile technology (3G/4G). As I think is stated in the Technological convergence#Multi-play article.

What do you think guys?

Yes, the other articles are right. Triple is voice + TV + Internet all on one medium. Quad is triple + cellphone. Jim.henderson (talk) 11:16, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
