AASP - American Alliance of Service Providers - ISP Association

Saturday, 12 June 2004

Welcome to AASP                   July 2008 Newsletter  

                                                    New AASP Business Message Care

   

AASP, the American Alliance of Service Providers (an association of independent Internet Service Providers),  was founded in January 2000 to unify ISP's as a group and leverage their aggregate size and resources to the common good of the membership. Although our membership is comprised of Internet Service Providers, the role of ISPs has become diverse over time and their services reflect a wide spectrum of the Internet industry -- Internet Service Providers, solutions providers, connectivity providers, hosting companies, web designers, CLEC's and other technology and Internet relevant companies. AASP is much more than a giant buying group; as it provides many resources for its ISP members. AASP's resources include information in areas such as education, legal, political, marketing, upcoming technology, forums, and the like. In fact the membership itself is one of the greatest resources available because the members share information, insights, connections and volunteer to help each other in specific areas. AASP has strategic alliances with other Internet service industry organizations whose efforts also support the common good of AASP's ISP association members.  AASP often tests new and/or upcoming technology and services to determine strengths and weakness and report that information to the Independent Internet Service Providers so they can make wise, informed decisions prior to allocating monies and resources.  We facilitate the distribution of information to the ISP association membership on matters that lobby groups need their help with. AASP keeps an eye on what is happening within the industry and addresses solutions that will help the membership achieve additional revenues, reduce churn, acquire new customers, reduce or eliminate financial loss and even excel in a rapidly changing industry.

Googles being good to the Earth through its Google.org philanthropic arm. The organization pledged $10.25 million in recently to support Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), a breakthrough technology doesnt look for geothermal energy, but makes it. The traditional geothermal approach relies on finding naturally occurring pockets of steam and hot water. The EGS process replicates these conditions by fracturing hot rock, circulating water through the system, and using the resulting steam to produce electricity in a conventional turbine; Palm released the Palm Treo Pro last week, a new handset which Palm hopes can save the brand as it faces challenges from RIMs Blackberry line and the Apple iPhone, not to mention the Google Android phones due in November and Linux based LiMo phones. Early reviews claim the device competes on functionality, but not price. It will be sold in the U.S. in September for $549 and in Europe free or up to $589, based on the carrier. The Palm Treo Pro boasts a tactile QWERTY keyboard, a hardware Wi-Fi switch, turn-by-turn navigation and Bluetooth support for stereo music headsets; and Ericsson and STMicroelectronics have agreed to join their wireless chip and software businesses to create a joint venture that will supply four of the world's top five mobile phone and smart phone makers. The new company, announced last week, will bring together the Mobile Platforms unit of Ericsson and STMicros ST-NXP wireless division. Ericsson is the world's biggest mobile telecoms equipment maker and ST-NXP is the third-largest maker of wireless chips globally. The new company should present a new challenge for wireless market leaders Qualcomm and Texas Instruments.
