ABOUT

Full Membership is limited to telecoms network and service providers, equipment manufacturers, software vendors, re-sellers and other electronic communication service providers with headquarters and/or significant business divisions in Europe. Full members must actively support and sign up to the ECTA Mission Statement, Aims & Objectives, Core Principles and Rules of Procedure. Incumbent network operators may join ECTA as full members either:

• in their own right if their Group position on key regulatory issues is consistent with ECTA policy or
• through their pro-competitive subsidiaries or divisions outside the incumbent's home market.

In the latter case, it is the subsidiary or division that will be recognized as the Member and receive the benefits conferred by ECTA Membership. Companies which join through a subsidiary or division and whose parent company does not actively support ECTA's objectives and core principles, may at the discretion of the Board be restricted to involvement in policy development, plus input on lobbying strategy and receipt of information which affects the geographical market location of the subsidiary or division only.
