What is TIA?
The Telecommunications Industry
Association (TIA), formed in 1984 as a result of
liberalisation and as the industry counterpart to
the Regulator OFCOM, is a non-profit making
organisation owned by its members. TIA, the prime
national trade association for the
telecommunications industry in Great Britain, is
committed to improving the competitiveness of
Member Companies.
TIA, which has more than 300 member
companies, aims to promote business development,
customer assurance and business efficiency in the
British communications and networking technology
industries. It represents and informs its members
on British and EU regulatory affairs, standards
and policy issues, and acts as the industry's
'self-policeman' providing codes of conduct and
practice, dispute resolution and arbitration
services. TIA provides a wide range of
international trade development and support
services through its 'Telecoms Partners'
programme.
