The New Zealand Telecommunications Forum (TCF) is a pan-industry organisation which aims to encourage cooperation and develop standards for telecommunications equipment and services.

Its members include 2degrees, Chorus, Spark New Zealand, Vodafone New Zealand as well as a significant number of smaller players in the New Zealand telecommunications industry.[1]

The TCF is recognised by the government as being the "Telecommunications Industry Forum" referred to in the Telecommunications Act 2001.[2]

The current CEO, Geoff Thorn, was appointed in July 2014, and succeeded David Stone.[3]

Work programmes

In December 2013, the TCF launched a stolen mobile phone blacklisting system with the backing of Telecom, Vodafone and 2degrees.[4]
