As a former employee of British Telecom and Cable & Wireless, Submarine Telecoms Forum co-founder, Wayne Nielsen, had been involved in the international submarine telecoms industry since 1985. He established WFN Strategies in 2001 and was assisting system developers and integrators, installers, etc. Submarine Telecoms Forum co-founder, Ted Breeze, had been active in the submarine Telecom industry since 1987 and was responsible for the corporate marketing presence for British Telecom Marine and Cable & Wireless Marine before establishing his consultancy, BJ Marketing Communications, in 1996. In previous lives, both Nielsen and Breeze were the originating publishers of BT Marine’s 1991 onwards publication, Soundings. In 1998, they published SAIC’s magazine, Real Time, the industry's first electronic magazine with a mailing list was some 2500 submarine telecom contacts worldwide, plus linked via the web to countless others. In 2001, the submarine telecom industry represented more than a $5B per annum in sales and yet no magazine existed which properly serviced its many issues. Under the banner of WFN Strategies, Nielsen and Breeze established the first industry-wide electronic and freely available magazine, Submarine Telecoms Forum, which was funded solely through advertising revenues. The first issue of Submarine Telecoms Forum magazine was published in October 2001. In 2008, an industry RSS feed was added to the website. In 2004 and 2005 Submarine Telecoms Forum produced a submarine cable map for purchase. In 2008 an updated submarine cable map, which is funded through sponsorships, was forwarded freely to 3000 international industry contacts. Since 2004, Submarine Telecoms Forum has produced an industry calendar which is funded through monthly sponsorships and forwarded freely to 3000 international industry contacts. In May 2008, Submarine Telecoms Forum was selected by the submarine telecommunications industry association, SubOptic, to act as Media Partner in support of its upcoming conference in Yokohama in 2010.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SubOptic 2010 )〕 In 2013, Submarine Telecoms Forum again acted as Media Partner in support of the SubOptic 2013 conference in Paris, France.
