PRESS RELEASE: Point Topic joins EuroISPA, the world’s largest association of ISPs, to foster cooperation on European digital policy development
Brussels, 10 September 2024 – EuroISPA, the pan-European association of Internet Services Providers Associations, officially welcomed its new Forum member Point Topic Ltd, a London-based broadband market intelligence house. With Point Topic’s addition, EuroISPA’s Industry Forum can now rely on nine companies active in the Internet industry to participate in the Association’s activities under an advisory capacity.
EuroISPA is the representative body of Internet Services Providers (ISPs) across the European continent. Founded in 1997, EuroISPA functions as an ‘umbrella’ association representing nine national ISP associations on policy and legislative issues and facilitates the exchange of best practices between members. EuroISPA engages at EU level on behalf of its members on a wide range of policy issues, including intermediary liability, data protection, cybersecurity and safer Internet. The association is structured around different, topical, Committees, which allow members to regularly exchange ideas and views on specific policy matters and dossiers.
“Joining EuroISPA is an essential step for Point Topic in strengthening our commitment to the development of a robust and fair Internet services framework in Europe. We are excited to contribute our data-driven insights and collaborate with fellow EuroISPA Industry and Council members to foster an environment conducive to innovation and competitiveness,” said Oliver Johnson, CEO of Point Topic.
Point Topic has been at the heart of European broadband data for many years. In addition to regular data gathering and analysis for a range of private sector clients, the company has run numerous projects for the European Commission and still contributes to the Broadband Coverage in Europe study with the latest in the annual series published recently.
Elina Ussa, President of EuroISPA, said: “We are delighted to be welcoming Point Topic as the newest addition to the EuroISPA Industry Forum. Thanks to their extensive research and broad client base that includes ISPs, operators, policymakers, and academic institutions, I am confident that Point Topic will provide valuable advice to EuroISPA’s Council members, actively contributing to and enhancing our discussions on the policy issues impacting the European Internet industry and supporting us in achieving our goal of defending the interests of European ISPs at EU level”.
“At the core of what we do every day is bringing more broadband to more people. We make a small but important and ongoing contribution to the spread of high bandwidths and all the benefits that come with it. We believe our values align well with EuroISPA and their members and we are committed to supporting EuroISPA’s goals and collaborating towards a prosperous and interconnected European digital future together,” concluded Johnson.
