With the growth of Broadband, the Internet, and mobility, Consumers have been quick to adopt a wide range of alternative communications like instant messaging, video calling, email, and social networking.  In most cases, however, each alternative system functions separately from the others.  This creates a challenge for Consumers which is amplified by the increasing number of devices in the home such as tablets, laptops, e-books, mobile phones, and Internet-connected TVs and game players.
