The Institute of Telecommunications Professionals (ITP) is hoping to increase its membership by exploiting a condition within the Government's Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme which asks whether applying comms providers belong to a recognised industry trade body.
If not, references from a customer and supplier must be obtained as part of the registration process.
In response to this requirement the ITP has rolled out a membership package to help comms providers more easily apply for vouchers, explained CEO Crissi Williams.
“With £67m available to small businesses to upgrade their networks, this is a fantastic development opportunity for many suppliers,” she stated.
“Our Corporate Associate package allows potential suppliers to meet the criteria and also qualify for ITP member advantages including invitations to ITP events and seminars, contributions to member publications, website branding and the opportunity to showcase products to members."
