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:

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.
