In order to more effectively communicate with the Internet community, Oftel established a dedicated forum called the Oftel Internet Forum (OIF) in 1999. This supplements Oftel's existing regular meetings with key companies, trade bodies and consumer groups.

Oftel uses the OIF to gain opinions and ideas about key regulatory developments. It is also used to inform the Internet community of key regulatory developments. The OIF meets on an ad hoc basis, each time addressing a particular issue.
