My officials and I are in contact with mobile phone providers, as necessary. The reasons for engagement cross many subjects - examples include the Mobile Phone and Broadband Taskforce, consultation on national and EU-level policy issues and in relation to telecommunications market and technical matters.  We also met with the  IBEC Telecommunications and Internet Federation (TIF) which is the representative body for leading industry and associated interest groups in the field of electronic communications. TIF represents companies involved in fixed, mobile, wireless, fixed wireless, satellite and cable based service provisions, outsourcing and internet service provision.
