COMPTEL has added several members to its roster, representing a wide cross-section of the communications industry, fincluding cloud, fiber, wireless and international operators, suppliers and professional services firms, and incumbent telcos.
“COMPTEL’s genesis more than 30 years ago was as an advocate for competition in the long distance market, and we extended this leadership into the local markets with our vital role in shaping the ’96 Telecom Act and its implementation. While we honor this legacy, COMPTEL is now evolving and growing to address the future of the communications industry, championing the need for competition across all networks,” said COMPTEL CEO Chip Pickering. “With our increasingly diverse membership, COMPTEL is now the only trade association that effectively represents the needs of companies using every type of network, platform and technology to deliver communications services. This broadened scope increases the efficacy of our advocacy, strengthens the COMPTEL PLUS shows and enables us to provide enhanced networking opportunities.”
