Utilities Telecom Council

The Utilities Telecom Council (UTC) is a global trade association dedicated to creating a favorable business, regulatory, and technological environment for companies that own, manage, or provide critical telecommunications systems in support of their core business. Founded in 1948 to advocate for the allocation of additional radio spectrum for power utilities, UTC has evolved into an organization that represents electric, gas, and water utilities; natural gas pipelines; critical infrastructure companies; and other industry stakeholders.

UTC provides information, products and services that help members:


 * Manage their telecommunications and information technology more effectively and efficiently;
 * Voice their concerns to legislators and regulators;
 * Identify and capitalize on opportunities linked to deregulation worldwide; and
 * Network with other telecom and IT professionals.
