The direct influence of industry bodies is perhaps less in IT Networks & Comms than in many other technological markets. A significant proportion of the key skills and qualifications are manufacturer / organisation related (Cisco, Nortel, Alcatel, etc.) rather than general industry standards and the diversity of operational areas also makes the centralisation of knowledge and standards more difficult.
That said, IT Networks & Comms professionals are often members of industries such as the following:
