Electrical transport properties of {ital c}-axis-oriented Tl{sub 2}Ba{sub 2}CaCu{sub 2}O{sub 8} thin films have been examined within the context of the Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) model. The nonlinear current versus voltage and resistivity versus magnetic field characteristics below the KT transition temperature ({ital T}{sub {ital c}}=99.0 K), together with the exponential inverse-square-root temperature dependence of the resistivity just above {ital T}{sub {ital c}}, were consistent with each other and with the theory. The parametrization of the resistivity data well above the transition by Aslamazov-Larkin theory was also consistent with that of the KT theory.
