The New Zealand Telecommunications Forum (TCF) is a pan-industry organisation which aims to encourage cooperation and develop standards for telecommunications equipment and services.

Contents

Its members include 2degrees, Chorus, One NZ and Spark New Zealand as well as a significant number of smaller players in the New Zealand telecommunications industry. [1]

The TCF is recognised by the government as being the "Telecommunications Industry Forum" referred to in the Telecommunications Act 2001. [2]

The current CEO, Paul Brislen, was appointed in July 2021, and succeeded Geoff Thorne. [3]

Work programmes

In December 2013, the TCF launched a stolen mobile phone blacklisting system with the backing of Spark (then Telecom), One NZ (then Vodafone) and 2degrees. [4]
