The TIES service is a set of networked information resources and services offered by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The goal of TIES is to support the requirements for electronic exchange of ITU-related information by the general public and ITU's member countries (189 as of September 1999).

TIES membership allows you, through the Internet, access to ITU information resources including contributions, delayed contributions, other working or temporary documents, reports, etc. ITU Publications may be acquired by subscribing to the ITU online subscription service or by purchasing individually.
