Merger is the next logical step.
The combination of these two outstanding organizations will form the undoubted preeminent spokesperson for the ISP industry for the next decade. We need an even stronger voice in Washington and internationally. CIX has been extremely effective in representing our industry and this merger will combine our voices in a highly effective manner. In addition to our public policy work, our vendor programs and the ISP Forum conference help ISPs improve their technical and business expertise. We have been active for years on issues such as ISP liability, privacy, and spam.
