United States-centric?[edit]

This article title is U.S.-centric. It should be renamed somthing like "United States National Telecommunications and Information Administration" or "National Telecommunications and Information Administration (United States). Kingturtle 22:11, 21 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Is there another National Telecommunications and Information Administration? If not, then the article is correctly titled. Merenta 17:10, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I agree with Merenta--DThomsen8 (talk) 01:00, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Office of Telecommunications Policy[edit]

The NTIA used to be the office of telecommunications policy. New article? History subsection? --Rabid Lemur 07:46, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NTIA resulted from a combination of the Office of Telecommunications (U.S. Department of Commerce) and the Office of Telecommunications Policy (U.S. Executive Office of the President). FLAHAM (talk) 15:08, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

History[edit]

Can we get some history on this administration, such as when was it founded, the reasons for it taking over some responsibilities from the FCC, et cetera?

What is the relation with "National Telecommunications Infrastructure Administration"? (250 google hits)--Thorseth (talk) 19:05, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, whats the relationship between the FCC and NTIA? Patcat88 (talk) 06:46, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I concur. Here we are, 10+ years after this first ask in 2009 by Thorseth, and later by Patcat88, and we still don't have much of the sort of historical explication of why this office was formed? By whom? (which President and which Congress?), and what have been its major accomplishments or milestones along its several decade history.

Instead, we got a bunch of newspaper-like presentism with stuff about the current sub-bureaus within the overall NTIA, and little or no info about whether any of that info is current (like up to date); moreover, a lot of it is tied to primary sources without {full} citations, and seems to just be warmed over statements made by the bureau about itself.

Current Assistant Secretary/Administrator, NTIA[edit]

According to the official website, Lawrence E. Strickling is in charge:

"Lawrence E. Strickling is Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information and Administrator, National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) U.S. Department of Commerce"

If this can be verified, then the article needs updating. --DThomsen8 (talk) 00:57, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Spanish name[edit]

The City of Pearland has: "Administración Nacional de Telecomunicaciones e Información del Departamento de Comercio de EE.UU."
