2014 ISPA Awards get underway as registration opens

The ceremony where we find out who has won a 2014 ISPA Award may be seven
months away, but now is the time for companies who are ISPA members to choose
which categories to enter. The 2014 Awards has two new categories:

• Best Business Use of Cloud is open to providers that allow
  businesses to utilise cloud based services in innovative and efficient ways to
  drive a business forward.
• Best Use of Digital is designed to reflect the providers
  who have ran the best digital media campaign and will be based around a case
  study.

The Fixed Wireless category has also morphed into the Best Wireless service,
thus covering both fixed and mobile services to reflect the increasing
importance of mobile broadband and the faster speeds that 4G is
demonstrating.

Between now and 24th January 2014 ISPA is inviting firms to register for one
or more of the sixteen award categories they wish to be considered for at
ispa.thinkbroadband.com. The technical testing for a number of
categories will start in February 2014 and last for a couple of months to
create the shortlists that the judging panel will make their final decisions
from.

“As ISPA approaches its twentieth year, 2014 will see the 16th annual ISPA
awards and the new categories reflect the diversity of ISPA members and the
strength of the UK industry. ISPA has been the voice of the internet industry
since 1995 and we look forward to another competitive awards.

Nicholas Lansman, ISPA Secretary General

We know after the awards each year people complain that provider ‘pick
random name’ was not considered, so these few weeks until registration
closes is the time to pester the firms to get them to enter. To put it simply,
if you don’t enter you cannot win.
