Several organizations have been established to consolidate input from either the telecommunications industry and/or consumer to the regulatory bodies at the state and/or federal level.

Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions [ATIS]
California Telephone Association
 Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association
 CWTA/ACTS (Canada)
 Minnesota Telephone Association
 NECA
National Telephone Cooperative Association
 Ontario Telecommunications Association (Canada)
 OPASTCO
 Rural Iowa Independent Telephone Association [RIITA]
 United States Telephone Association
 Western Rural Telephone Association

			Organizational bodies can often influence regulatory agencies, but occasionally come under scrutiny themselves. A recent CBS 60 Minutes news article about telephone billing line items featured interviews with the then-head of the USTA.
