UK ISPs Concerned P2P Crackdown Will “Undermine” Digital Economy
Internet Services Providers’ Association (ISPA UK ) Says focus should be on “reform of content licensing to enable legal alternatives at a fair price.” The Internet Services Providers’ Association (ISPA), the UK’s Trade Association for providers of Internet services that was established in 1995 to promotes competition, self-regulation and the development of the Internet industry, is once again voicing its opposition for “ evolved ” plans by UK Business Secretary Lord Mandelson and his Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) to impose technical measures against accused file-sharers that includes Internet disconnection. It’s concerned that the recently introduced Digital Economy Bill , far from strengthening the nation’s communications infrastructure, will penalize the success of the Internet industry and undermine the backbone of the digital economy. “ISPA is extremely disappointed by aspects of the proposals to address illicit file-sharing,” said ISPA Secretary General Nicholas Lansman.
