The UK Internet Service Providers Association (
ISPA) has been called upon to give evidence at the governments House of Lords Science and Technology Committee:
ISPA will aid the Committee in their Personal Internet Security inquiry. The inquiry has been prompted by increasing home computer use, broadband take-up and the growth of eCommerce and Internet banking.
ISPA Council members James Blessing, Chief Operating Officer at Entanet; Matthew Henton, Head of Marketing at Brightview and Camille de Stempel, Director of Policy at AOL, will be giving evidence to the committee on March 14th 2007.
The UK Internet industry has an excellent track record of making the net safer through self-regulation.
ISPA members regularly invest in educating customers by providing advice and guidance on Internet security issues, such as avoiding viruses, preventing their PCs from being hacked, and limiting and reporting spam.
Hopefully the
ISPA points out how useless existing anti-SPAM laws are and why filtering technology alone will never be a complete solution. The full press release can be read
