Hunting For The UK Internet Industry’s Top Dogs
Launch of The 2008 ISPAs – The 10th Annual UK Internet Industry Awards
The Internet Services Providers' Association (ISPA UK) in association with Epitiro has launched this year’s search for the UK Internet industry’s top performers.
The 2008 ISPAs – The 10th Annual UK Internet Industry Awards – will reward the industry’s star players after completing a rigorous three month testing period.
Already two companies have returned to sponsor categories at The 2008
ISPAs. Alcatel-Lucent and Cisco have once again pledged their support by sponsoring
Best Business Broadband and Best Business ISP.
The tenth anniversary of
The ISPAs highlights its success and ability to retain its position as THE UK Internet Industry Awards.
The 2008 ISPAs will be made up of two divisions; the ISP division and the Special Awards division.
This year’s awards will feature two new categories which were introduced in response to entrant feedback and to give a more accurate reflection of the industry. Best Dedicated Hosting and Best Shared Hosting are replacing Best Business Host and Best Consumer Host.
Entry to The 2008 ISPAs is free and open to all ISPs, including those who are not members of ISPA.
To enter the awards, companies should select the category or categories they wish to enter, and register for testing with Epitiro via

The winners will be announced at a gala dinner and award
ceremony held in
February 2008.
