FISPA was founded in May 1996 to represent the interests of Internet Solution Providers. We call our members Solution Providers because our members are companies who provide a whole range of services including Internet Access, Web Hosting, Web Design, and an ever increasing number of other services which all use the Internet to facilitate a solution.
- We offer our members education and a place to network and facilitate discussion.
- We provide discounts on products and services which we collectively use.
- We educate the public about the importance of the Internet industry.
- We support quality standards and practices for Internet Solutions Providers.
- We leverage our resources to present the concerns of the Internet industry.
FISPA was created to meet these challenges.

The Board has selected New Orleans for our Spring meeting. We’re looking at dates within the Jazz Festival (April 26 – May 5). We’ll repeat the ‘fiber build’ field trip and demo at Hunt Telecom and, of course, the crawfish boil. Other topics of focus will be CLEC, hosted PBX, and cloud. Hope we can have a great turn out.
Marcell Frost from FISPA member Global Telecom became a grandparent for the first time this week.
Congratulations Marcell! We should see him at our Chicago meeting.
Marcell looks way too young to be a grandparent!
Congrats to new Board member Dane Jasper on the arrival of a new family member. Dane reports “He’s eating and sleeping well” although I’m not too sure if he’s talking about himself or the baby.
