UK Communication Directory update
The Communications Directory is now available online from Related DTI Sites. It brings together world-class products and services from a wide range of companies. It is intended as more of a shop window on the UK communications industry rather than a comprehensive catalogue of all UK communication companies. The products and services represented range from telecoms equipment to services such as installation, network planning and consultancy.
