NATOA Pulls Plug on Industry Council
By Ted Hearn -- Multichannel News, 3/5/2002 11:54:00 AM
The National Association of Telecommunications Officers and Advisors has pulled the plug on an industry council designed to improve relations between local government and business.
The Industry Advisory Council, launched in September, fell apart due to the lack of interest among some segments of the cable and telecommunications industries.
Denise Brady, NATOA's current president, said Tuesday: 'We commend the foresight of companies such as AT&T Broadband, Comcast [Corp.], Cox Communications [Inc.] and WideOpenWest [LLC]. Those companies know well and understand the value of working with local governments, and they were the first to come to the table.'
She added, 'It is unfortunate that we are unable to sustain the full scope of the program planned without greater participation from other industry segments.'
NATOA did not name firms that declined to participate. But the association said those companies cited cost concerns for not joining the council.
