What industry needs from the next Government is an ambitious, clear and detailed vision for the Internet and communications sector<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In its response the ISPA has also outlined a number of areas where they feel improvements could be made, which we&#8217;ve listed below.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Broadband<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>* Overall, ISPA welcomes the parties\u2019 recognition of the importance of broadband investment and continued support for superfast rollout. However all parties should be more ambitious and aim for ubiquitous superfast broadband, with targeted investment and incentives for a competitive private sector to continue to innovate and develop their networks.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>* Whilst we welcome all main parties\u2019 promises of affordable and widespread access to the Internet, ISPA cautions against commitments to treat broadband as a basic utility if this comes with unnecessary and burdensome regulations.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>* As welcome as the broadband commitments are, given the importance of the communications sector, parties should also craft a vision around what this infrastructure could be used for.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Surveillance and communications data<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>* As expected, the Conservatives intend to introduce new legislation to give the security services more access to communications data with additional safeguards. Labour promise similar; the Liberal Democrats offer a different vision in setting stricter limits on surveillance.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>* ISPA welcomes original thinking on Internet policy as seen in the Liberal Democrats Digital Bill of Rights, which puts more limits on surveillance and acknowledges that public confidence in the Internet risks being undermined by excessive obligations and underlines the importance of encryption many online services rely on.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>* Whilst law enforcement should have reasonable access to data, this should only be after a rigorous parliamentary debate with input from industry and civil society that strengthens oversight and based on the grounds of proportionality and necessity.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Content<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>* ISPA supports the principle of limiting underage access to adult content by website owners, however the Conservatives announcements on blocking and age verification leave a number of unanswered questions on implementation.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>* The Liberal Democrats make a number of interesting proposals on content, such as safeguarding the freedom of the Internet, though questions remain over implementation. Labour have not set out policies for online content, and we call on them to share their overall vision for the sector.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>* The UK is one of Europe\u2019s most digitally-enabled societies and economies, therefore parties should follow a regulatory regime that works and follow policies that respect intermediary liability and support industry to continue to provide innovative services.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Internet Service Providers Association (ISPA) has given its verdict on the 2015 General Election Manifestos of the three main political parties.
