From the IPOEE, via the IBTE and TCN, to the ITP.
« on: August 15, 2013, 12:58:42 AM »

In a post to another forum thread I mentioned The Institution of Post Office Electrical Engineers, that Institution's quarterly publication The Post Office Electrical Engineers' Journal, the successor The Institution of British Telecommunications Engineers and its quarterly publication British Telecommunications Engineering Journal.

Having read Black Sheep's subsequent comment, I made a note to remind myself to perform some research. This is what I found . . .

In the beginning there was The Institution of Post Office Electrical Engineers. Date: 1906.
It subsequently became The Institution of British Telecommunications Engineers. Date: 1982.
That, in turn, became The Communications Network. Date: 2002.
Five years later, it became The Institute of Telecommunications Professionals. Date: 2007.

The history of The Institute of Telecommunications Professionals (ITP) is documented on its website. [1]

The ITP's quarterly publication is (rather unfortunately) named The Journal and the Institute produces another publication, Telecoms Professional. Non-members of the ITP can also subscribe to its publications. [2]  There is also an on-line search facility available. [3]

Finally, the ITP has also taken over the running of the Connected Earth website [4], which had originally been founded by Beattie.

So now we know.  :)
