The arguments for and against general purpose planes sound eerily familiar for someone in the telco space. You either have The Converged Fixed/Mobile Retail/Business platform that is complex, inflexible, and expensive or several smaller platforms where some parts have to be developed several times. The usual argument for the converged platform is drastically reduced operating cost. The price is drastically reduced flexibility, as each new feature has to be checked against all existing requirements and dependencies.
