October 20, 2006; 03:18 AM
The Golden Group announced that it has entered into a cross-marketing agreement with CISPA (California ISP Association), who will be a Premier Sponsor of the event. Under the terms of the agreement, ISPCON will tap into its extensive contacts in the California ISP community to educate them regarding the benefits of CISPA membership. In return, all current CISPA members will receive special pricing at ISPCON Fall 2006, being held at the Santa Clara Convention Center from November 7 – 9.

“As ISPCON and CISPA have the same vision regarding the California ISP community, it was a logical next step for us to communicate together with the same voice, in an effort to truly ‘light up’ the West Coast,” said Jon Price, CEO, The Golden Group. “We’re proud to announce our partnership with CISPA, which we believe will provide real benefits to all California ISPs.”

“We’re pleased that as a Premier Sponsor of ISPCON, CISPA will have the opportunity to showcase many new offerings and services for ISPs,” said Evan Rees, Executive Director, CISPA. “As the industry evolves and changes, CISPA is there to provide its members with cutting edge technology solutions. We work to help our membership to grow their businesses, and to build a coalition of concerned ISPs, content providers and VoIP providers."

ISPCON and CISPA are encouraging all ISPs in the state of California to become members, as they are providing a unified front to the various regulatory forces that at play. Custom ad campaigns for ISPs, list server access and an ISP locator on the CISPA home page are all part of CISPA’s new initiatives to be rolled out at ISPCON this November.
