Strategic Direction
TIA
 Lobbies for appropriate regulation and removal
of barriers to ubiquitous deployment of
broadband networks
 Promotes free-trade agreements
 Advances technology neutrality
 Facilitates going “Green” using intelligent
transportation systems, energy efficiency,
virtual events and other environmental
initiatives

SDO Challenges
 Current economic conditions
 With Market Convergence – also see the need
to:
• strengthen existing cooperation agreements and
• consider increased joint cooperation with other organizations in
developing standards, conformity assessment, and related areas.
 More companies are restricting travel, thus TIA
promotes the use of virtual meetings through
GoToMeeting and other technologies.
