     1.7 +% Chapter \ref{chap:market-analysis} dealt with this topic. The trends for the communication market were consolidation, integration and a merge of communication hardware. All this goes along with market's change to Unified Messaging and later Unified Communication. Electronic mail appears to have good chances to stay an important transport technology then: It can transport all kinds of asynchronous messages and email usage from desktop computers and mobile devices is already established. Hence electronic mail is ready for Unified Messaging. Unified Communication, however, requires more, including the integration of synchronous communication channels with asynchronous ones. This is a point where email does bad. The \emph{store-and-forward} transport architecture of email is not suited for synchronous data transfer. Until, if ever, Unified Communications becomes reality, email is a winner.
