History
|
|
The Telecommunications and Information Working Group (TEL) was formed in 1990. Under its first Chair, the United States, TEL was charged to address human resource development; technology transfer and regional cooperation; opportunities for on-site visits; observerships and fellowships; and telecommunications standardization. The work of TEL is accomplished by four steering groups, which propose, implement and monitor projects and activities to advance the overall goals of APEC. Each steering group addresses a specific priority area; liberalization; business facilitation; development cooperation; and human resource development.
