Dear Telecom Professional, In 1996 Senior Executives in the Telecom World got together to form this Association which was based upon the work of the TRA in Washington USA. The remit was to assist companies which wanted to expand their activities outside of the USA and to promote competitive Telecommunications via resale in accordance with the roll out of the WTO accord. The ITRE was therefore formed as a non-profit organisation and assisted its members, National and International Carriers, PTT's, Telecom Resellers ( Wholesalers) to promote their business and be informed of the latest products and services available to them. The ITRE also offered a one-stop-shop to companies both outside and in Europe who wished to offer their products and services to that group. The ITRE evolved with time and soon had members which could offer legal, regulatory and accounting services, staff recruitment, site finding, research, marketing, financing, purchasing, advice on all telecom matters, consultancy, grants, acquisitions and mergers. Switching, switch sales, diallers, intelligence reports, bandwidth, call centre management, billing and a host of other products and services. As such the
beginning of 2003 saw the roll out of the WTO accord all but completed and
millions of new Telecom staff had joined the industry with each being trained by
those who had come before so we of the ITRE changed the emphasis from
corporate assistance to making our prime goal that of making the industry "A
PROFESSION"* and to offer "Professional Personal
Membership" to bona fide Executives in Telecom and allied Telecom
(publishers, conference organisers, Lawyers etc) Industries and giving them true
Professional status and use the letters Memb.ITRE or Asso.ITRE after their name to
add to their professional status.
To
Promote the Continuing professional development of our members we
organize networking, corporate hospitality, conferences , exhibitions, travel and
accommodation to telecom events, newsletters, media purchasing, speaking and
publishing opportunities under a common academic framework.
Current staff members are:
Mr William Morris Executive Director USA:
Mr Daniel Miga, Non Executive Int. Advisor Barry Schiller
