3. GSC-9, Seoul 3 ATIS’ Roots Divestiture led to ATIS’ establishment in 1983. 1980s -- ECSA added committees/forums as the need arose. FCC refers technical and operations issues to ATIS, rather than address issues itself in many cases. 1990s -- ECSA expands membership to include IXCs, then later manufacturers, enhanced service providers, software developers, other sectors. Changes name to “ATIS.” Mid- and Late ‘90s -- Boom economy and proliferation of standards consortia. ATIS committee participation grows, membership diversifies. Late 2000 to Early 2001 -- Industry in downturn. Sluggish economy, scarce capital, regulatory uncertainty. ATIS launches strategic effort.
