The nonprofit Texas Internet Service Providers Association (TISPA) is committed to advocate and support a healthy Internet industry in our state and nation. TISPA works to preserve a fair, open and competitive American marketplace for service providers, consumers and communities.
Welcome to the new Texas ISP Association (TISPA) online resource center for Internet service providers. This site represents a year of work identifying valuable resources and useful information for ISPs, delivered via completely new network operating center content database systems.
You will see a continuing stream of new features and added member services coming online as this ‘work in progress’ evolves. Among the changes are: newsfeeds on Internet industry issues, including legal/regulatory updates from state and national level; more emphasis on tools for improved operation and economy; forums for better communication and cooperative efforts among ISPs nationwide; focus on best technologies, vendors and pricing; plus other new resources and services.
[NOTE: TISPA is your association. We invite and value your suggestions for any improvements and/or additions to services. Please send your thoughts and comments via email or site feedback forms.]
The association itself is being upgraded as well, for greater impact, wider outreach, and improved operations, adding important resources like the new FCC Comments channel. (and more on the way)
2006 was a challenging year, but thankfully we can report success in dealing with some potentially damaging problems, notably federal legislation and regulation. 2007, a Texas state legislative session year, is proving to be a key year for Texas ISPs, but we are bringing new tools, resources and determination in the fight to preserve a healthy and competitive Internet service industry for ISPs, consumers and communities.
We urge you to get informed and get involved; it’s the key to survival and success!
Texas ISP Association
