IIC Asia

IIC Asia, a chapter of the London-based International Institution of Communications, provides a forum for members to identify and examine global and regional policy issues, including those arising from the continuing technological, business and policy convergence of these legacy industry sectors.

Our membership is drawn from members of the broadcasting, media, communications and IT sectors, as well as from professionals, academics and policy-makers focusing in these areas.

IIC Asia is a Hong Kong-registered Society with a branch office in Singapore, whose objects are:

• to provide a forum for media and communications industry members, regulators, policy makers and other interested parties to identify, examine and discuss matters of common interest affecting communications policy globally and in the Asia region; and

• to cooperate with other bodies, societies and associations in the Asia region for the promotion of the objects of the Society.

More information about membership can be found in the Membership section of this site.

About IIC

The IIC was formed in 1969 at Ditchley Park in the UK and celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2009. The underlying objective was to provide a non-partisan organisation to enable international debate of all kinds on the increasingly complex world of communications. The IIC’s mission is to provide a global framework for dialogue and to promote access to communications for all peoples of the world. It is an international, interdisciplinary, independent, not-for-profit membership organisation and a registered charity. Its funding comes from subscriptions, donations and projects. It is governed by an international Board of Directors and advised by a select number of Trustees.

The Institute covers virtually all aspects of the converging worlds of telecommunications and broadcast and electronic media and endeavours to add to the knowledge of practitioners, commentators and policy formulators. Its membership is derived from some 70 countries and includes a small number of individual members. Corporate members include international telecommunications companies as well as regulatory bodies, broadcasters and electronic media companies.
