TIA Member Testimonials

TIA's programs, and those of its predecessor, benefited us 25 years ago as a start-up and continue to provide outstanding ROI today.
Rob Pullen
Senior VP & General Manager
Optical Networking Group, Tellabs
The CD-ROM version of TIA's Market Review and Forecast is perfect for my purposes. During long flights to Asia, I read sections of TIA's Market Review and Forecast 'book' on my laptop to glean ideas about the best market segments to emphasize. The research work is excellent and every company should use it...whether print edition or CD.

General Manager, DSL Products
Texas Instruments
Decisions on Capitol Hill and at the FCC clearly impact our bottom line. TIA tackles tough issues head-on for its members and returns positive results, such as reducing time-to-market barriers

Corporate. Vice President and Director
Global Government Relations, Motorola
I am surprised that more small companies don't take advantage of the networking opportunities that TIA provides. They are excellent. I can't tell you the number of good contacts that we have made at [the association's] events. A small-business owner would do well to join.
Sue Clancy
President, BIZPHYX, Inc.
Your website and the offerings you provide for membership were goals for some of us board members years ago. It is very satisfying to see how far TIA has come in serving its membership. Please pass along my congrats to all.
John Vette
CEO, SNC Manufacturing
"My sincerest thanks go to the members of your [Standards] staff for their exceptional work in support of last week's meeting of our technical committee. There were only compliments about the quality of the meeting and IT support. I cannot think of any finer people with whom to work than your TIA staff. I am very proud of our association."

We hope that China will use this break in the negotiations to reexamine its approach to the negotiations to expand the ITA and focus on reducing its overly large list of sensitive products. If China is ready to move forward to conclude the expansion of the ITA this year then the ITA Expansion is achievable this year.

As part of a large U.S. industry delegation representing a broad array of ICT manufacturers, TIA is in Geneva, Switzerland this week to cheer on the trade negotiators who are working hard to conclude the negotiations to expand the product coverage of the WTO’s Information Technology Agreement (ITA). The ITA remains one of the most commercially important WTO trade agreements – by eliminating tariffs on a broad range of ICT products, the ITA lowers the cost and improves access to these products, which are vital to the economic competitiveness of all economies around the world.
The Telecommunications Industry Association was in Geneva last week along with AdvaMed, the Consumer Electronics Association, the Entertainment Software Association, the Information Technology Industry Council, the Liquid Crystal Polymer Coalition, the Motion Picture Association of America, and the Semiconductor Industry Association. This coalition of high-tech companies represents a broad spectrum of manufacturers and service providers in the information and communication technology (ICT) sector.
Last week was a busy one at the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Geneva, Switzerland. The signs are very encouraging that the member countries of the WTO are back on track to move the WTO’s trade liberalization agenda forward – from the new International Services Agreement (ISA) to the ongoing negotiations to expand the existing WTO Information Technology Agreement (ITA).
