AASP - American Alliance of Service Providers - ISP Association
Written by Web Master   
Saturday, 12 June 2004

Welcome to AASP                   May 2008 Newsletter  

                                                    New AASP Business Message Care

   

AASP, the American Alliance of Service Providers (an association of independent Internet Service Providers),  was founded in January 2000 to unify ISP's as a group and leverage their aggregate size and resources to the common good of the membership. Although our membership is comprised of Internet Service Providers, the role of ISPs has become diverse over time and their services reflect a wide spectrum of the Internet industry -- Internet Service Providers, solutions providers, connectivity providers, hosting companies, web designers, CLEC's and other technology and Internet relevant companies. AASP is much more than a giant buying group; as it provides many resources for its ISP members. AASP's resources include information in areas such as education, legal, political, marketing, upcoming technology, forums, and the like. In fact the membership itself is one of the greatest resources available because the members share information, insights, connections and volunteer to help each other in specific areas. AASP has strategic alliances with other Internet service industry organizations whose efforts also support the common good of AASP's ISP association members.  AASP often tests new and/or upcoming technology and services to determine strengths and weakness and report that information to the Independent Internet Service Providers so they can make wise, informed decisions prior to allocating monies and resources.  We facilitate the distribution of information to the ISP association membership on matters that lobby groups need their help with. AASP keeps an eye on what is happening within the industry and addresses solutions that will help the membership achieve additional revenues, reduce churn, acquire new customers, reduce or eliminate financial loss and even excel in a rapidly changing industry.

Mashups turn into an industry as offerings mature

There were a great many product announcements at Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco last month, but it was the number of announcements around Web-based mashups in particular that received a large share of attendee and media attention. By my count there were at least nine significant announcements in this space, many around the business flavor of this emerging new type of ad hoc Web applications. These are often referred to as enterprise mashups and the growing number of offerings in this space run the gamut from Web widget assembly platforms for end-users to data-only swizzlers and remixing applications created specifically for IT professionals. Penetration of mashups in the enterprise is just beginning as their benefits begin to be understood.One...

Sugar-free Windows, as predicted

As Ivan Krsti? predicted in his May 13th blog post (see "Intense (and really thoughtful) ranting from the OLPC front"), the OLPC XO will start shipping with Windows XP, minus the Sugar interface and open source tools that allow full implementation of the XO hardware (e.g., mesh networking). So much of what makes the XO innovative surrounds Sugar and easy, immediate collaboration between students via mesh. While Mary Jo Foley covered the details out of Redmond and OLPC quite thoroughly, I have to toss in my 2 cents from Ed Tech. This is pandering, plain and simple. Negroponte himself is quoted in the New York Times as saying, ?The people who buy the machines are not the children who use...

Federal charges in MySpace suicide case

Federal prosecutors have indicted Lori Drew for actions on MySpace that led 13-year-old Megan Meier (right) to kill herself, USA Today reports. She was charged with one count of conspiracy and three counts of computer crimes. The grand jury charges that she accessed protected computers without authorization to obtain information used to inflict emotional distress. "It's clearly a tragic case," U.S. Attorney Thomas O'Brien said. "We think Ms. Drew's actions resulted in the death of a child." If convicted on all four counts, she faces 20 years in federal prison. "Any adult who uses the Internet or a social gathering website to bully or harass another person, particularly a young teenage girl, needs to realize that their actions can...

Comcast, Cox block BitTorrent 24/7

Comcast and Cox are blocking BitTorrent traffic, regardless of the time of day or day of the week, students from the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems report. And despite suggestions that BitTorrent blocking is widespread across ISPs, the Institute's Glasnost test found that the two cable networks accounted for vast majority of BitTorrent blocking in the U.S. Most (573 of 599) U.S. hosts that observed blocking are located in Comcast and Cox networks. In Singapore, all blocked hosts are connected using the StarHub network. While we did observe blocking for hosts in 10 other ISPs (7 of which are in the U.S.), we did not see widespread blocking of BitTorrent traffic for hosts in those ISPs. The table below...

Does 'SOA lifecycle management' say it better than 'SOA governance'?

Oh what a difference five years makes. Back in the good old days, 2002-03, IT people at the time (our ancestors) were fascinated with this new approach called "service oriented architecture," which would make integration faster and cheaper and less onerous. Now that many companies have services in production, they need to figure out how they can make the business more supple. 'Business is still frozen in a mess of technology silos' These and many other issues were explored at Software AG's SOA Governance Summit held this week in New York. I had the chance to stop by, and one current that ran through the event was the thinking that perhaps the industry needs to shift away from the term...
