TCF Newsletter 2026 June

Jun 30, 2026

The annual test of the Emergency Mobile Alert (EMA) system kicked off this quarter, heralding a round of work on the resilience front, including our Telecommunications Emergency Management Plan (TEMP) which is nearly ready for publication.  

Our new Minister of Commerce has released the Anti Scam Alliance work programme, and we say so long to a long-standing member of the telecommunications community after 55 years connecting people and places together.

Alan Mitford-Brown has retired after a career that’s taken him from copper wires and party lines right through to an era of fibre optics and satellites. Join him on his journey below.
