The Pacific Telecommunications Council (PTC) is a telecommunications industry non-profit trade association representing wireline, wireless, Internet, and other information, communications, and technology companies across the forty nations that make up the Pacific Rim. [2] [3] [4] The organization is headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi and became a 501(c)(3) in 1980. [5] [6] The organization was founded to bring industry, academics, and government together to help create a meeting ground for the exchange of ideas and policies. [7]
PTC held what would become its first annual PTC conference in 1979 with the support of IEEE, the University of Hawaii, Hawaiian Telephone Company, and the Alaska Office of Telecommunications. [8] In 1986, the United States Information Agency began providing funding to the PTC to allow greater participation in its programs by telecommunications industry professionals from developing Pacific Rim countries. [9]
The organization held its 44th annual conference in January 2022 [update], perennially in Waikīkī. It is the largest annual exhibition and conference held in Hawaiʻi for the telecommunications industry in the Pacific Rim. Past keynote speakers included Nobuyuki Idei, then-chairman of Sony, Jung-Uck Seo, then-minister of science and technology for South Korea, William Kennard, then-chairman of the FCC, and Mike Roberts, then-president of ICANN.
