Telecommunications Industry Association, TelecomTV Debut Online Market Intelligence Service Geared to Information/Communications Technology Industry

Arlington, Va.  – Decision-makers and strategic planners involved in telecommunications, information and communications technology markets have a new tool to reliably assess global market and technology opportunities for their companies and gain the competitive edge needed to thrive in today's borderless ICT industry – the online Market Intelligence Service debuted this week by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) in collaboration with TelecomTV.

The unique service, available at ictmarketintelligence.com, leverages today's technology to deliver real world context for TIA's popular annual ICT Market Review & Forecast, integrating data, charts, graphs, breaking news, surveys, polls, blogs, videos, podcasts, webinars and other online sources to add value to the 600-page publication.

Each TIA "Industry Stream" includes a synthesized, multi-media experience of the most current market intelligence targeting the subject of that stream. Industry Streams include: Landline, Equipment, Wireless and International. A brand new Green Stream will be launched in September.

Subscribers to TIA's Market Intelligence Service will benefit from TIA's staff and analysts and 40+ years of experience representing the ICT industry, as well as the most advanced global ICT collaboration platform, designed by TelecomTV.

As an independent trade association, TIA has long played a neutral yet influential role advocating for the growth and health of the ICT industry. Now, it expands that mission by launching the first-ever global ICT market intelligence center for the greater ICT industry.

"In these tough economic times, we're doing all we can to add value and lend insight with the in-depth market intelligence we provide," said TIA President Grant Seiffert.

"Expanding our efforts to take advantage of new media platforms to deliver the latest data and analyses as quickly and efficiently as possible will help to facilitate growth and create opportunities for the ICT industry."
