What is PTC?

Founded in 1980, the Pacific Telecommunications Council (PTC) is an international, non-profit, non-governmental membership organization. Our mission is to promote the development, understanding and beneficial use of telecommunications and information technology throughout the entire Pacific Hemisphere - an area encompassing North, Central, and South America; Northeast, South and Southeast Asia; and Oceania (Australia, New Zealand, Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia). PTC creates opportunities for networking and the sharing of ideas and information through a major annual conference, regional seminars, and various activities and task groups.
