Minority Telecommunications Development Program

The Minority Telecommunications Development Program (MTDP) was established in 1978 to develop programs and policies to increase minority ownership of broadcast and telecommunications businesses.

MTDP provides policy input for the development of legislation and regulations that affect minority business participation in the telecommunications industry.

MTDP periodically researches and drafts reports tracking minority ownership in broadcasting. NTIA released the last report in December 2000, which was titled Changes, Challenges, and Charting New Courses: Minority Commercial Broadcast Ownership in the United States.

MTDP examines trends and business opportunities in telecommunications for minority entrepreneurs.
