“This year ISPA celebrates its 20th year of existence as the representative body for Belgian Internet services provider. The association was established all those years ago with the aim of elevating the voice of the fledging Internet industry and ensuring Belgian regulation encouraged innovation in the exiting new sector. As we look back on the activities and achievements of ISPA in the past years, we clearly see that the founding members’ ambition bears more relevance than ever.”
Henri-Jean Pollet – ISPA President
