Economy not slowing ATIS

摘要

Telecom industry companies, including service providers and equipment vendors, are not cutting back on their participation in ATIS committees and forums in light of the economy, said Susan Miller, president and CEO of the organization, but the method of participation is changing.rn"What changes a great deal is them asking us to be innovative in the ways they can participate, so it's not necessarily a falling away of membership, but the focus of what we do and the innovation we can bring into how we do it," Miller said. "Last year, we had 175 face-to-face meetings, but we had 1100 virtual meetings. That is going to go up this year. The tools to support all of that are getting better. The best ones are not widely prolific, but they are getting better."
