Benefits of Membership

The biggest benefit of joining the Telecom Services Association is, as an association, making things that might be difficult to deal with as individual companies easy, contributing greatly to the operations of each member company.

Now, with the telecommunications market undergoing drastic changes such as the switchover of networks to IP, and the introduction of the basic principle of free competitive markets, the association’s activities, such as multifaceted and rapid information gathering and letting the industry’s voice be heard, are all the more important.
