High Speed Access

A healthy and competitive Internet service industry breeds innovation, new and better services and applications, great customer service, attractive prices and enhanced product choice. Key to achieving these objectives is open, non-discriminatory access by ISPs to necessary infrastructure at reasonable and competitive prices. CAIP actively participates in regulatory and other proceedings which impact on the Internet's infrastructure and its pricing models
