Press Release
We are pleased to announce the formation of a new
association for Internet Solutions Providers,
Independent ISPs for
America, Inc. (http://www.II4A.org). This organization has its
roots in
legislative support for ISPs, as many of the founding members
played a large part in the
opposition of the Bell Forbearance Petitions
to the Federal Communications Commission.
"It is time for an ISP association with a mission to
speak for the industry to politicians and
policy makers," says Peter
Radizeski of RAD-INFO, Inc. "That organization is IIA."
There have been many ISP associations. Most are
buying
clubs. The IIA is more than that.
Foremost, it is a group that educates
its members on better business practices, marketing,
and new
technologies - ways for the Independent ISP to compete in the shifting
sands of
telecom. In addition, IIA is there to edify the FCC, Congress
and state governments on
the impact that proposed rules and bills will
have on this dynamic market segment - and
in turn the repercussions for
consumers.
Sprint and GNET are the first vendors to lend their
support to the new group. The new
group can be visited at ISPCON in
Baltimore starting today at Booth 109.

IIA
Inks
Deal for Sprint DSL
The Independent ISPs
for
America, a not-for-profit association,
signed an agreement with Sprint
to offer the best pricing for DSL to IIA members. IIA members can take
advantage of the association's combined 5 year / 2500+ circuit
commitment. IIA members must submit a new DSL contract to Sprint, but
the change will be painless to the ISP.
