Formed in 1996, CAIP's Mission is to foster the growth of a healthy and competitive Internet service industry in Canada through collective and cooperative action on Canadian and international issues of mutual interest. CAIP membership comprises commercial Internet service providers ("ISPs") and enterprises interested or involved, directly or indirectly, in the industry of Internet service provisioning.
The main aims of CAIP are to:
- provide effective industry advocacy respecting public policy and regulatory matters (e.g., access, copyright, privacy and security issues, e-commerce guidelines) affecting Canada's ISP industry;
- promote a positive image for the Internet industry and the Association through proactively educating Canadians about, and building awareness of Internet industry issues; and
- offer value to members through the timely communication of relevant business information and the provision of special member benefit in partnership with Affinity members.
CAIP collaborates to leverage the support of CATAAlliance, the industry's largest high tech trade association, to 'amplify' CAIP's advocacy messages through a public affairs lobby that is generally acknowledged to be the best in its sector. CAIP members benefit from CATA's platform of services and resources.
See "Staying Connected" and Issues Being Advanced for the latest news on the breadth of work that CAIP is doing for Canada's telecommunications community.
Join CAIP, a Division of CATAAlliance today.
