ISPA (South Africa)

ISPA uncovered one of the original newspaper articles about AFRINIC's founding 26 years ago. AFRINIC is today a regular iWeek partner, providing valuable training on Internet resource management. Check out the attached from BusDay, 29 April 1999 for interesting weekend reading!

Well done to all involved on the amazing achievement of active 400 Gbps peering at #JINX! It's incredible to remember how JINX was launched in 1996 with just four 64kb/s links :) #INXZA #JINXNTT #INXpeering #JINX400 #ISPA30years gadget.co.za/nttdatajinx124…

ISPA's got a new look! It's 30 years since a small band of forward-thinking ISPs came together on 6 June 1996. We recently unveiled our new, cleaner, confident & more refined corpID at ZANOG@iWeek2026. What do you think about ISPA's new logo? #ISPAcorporateID #ISPAlogo #ISPA2026

South Africa's universal service framework is no longer fit for purpose - that's the summary of it, and you can read more from ISPA's Dominic Cull: techcentral.co.za/how-a-connecti… #Usaasa #universalservice @ell1ps1s

Ant Brooks running through @ispa_za stance on Internet Blocking in South Africa at #iWeek2026 #ZANOG Opened with a thought provoking example about ISPs blocking illegal gambling sites... why are you not here?

Congrats to @nttdata_inc - and @inx_za...! services.global.ntt/en-us/newsroom…

ZANOG@iWeek2026 is just around the corner, and interest in South Africa's premier internet industry event is hotting up! Will we see you in Pretoria on Tues? it-online.co.za/2026/04/17/isp…

ZANOG@iWeek2026 is upon us in scarcely a week! At SA's leading internet industry event taking place in Pretoria from 21 - 23 Apr, iWeek attendees will learn more about everything to do with the internet - and the fact that 2026 marks ISPA's 30th birthday! iweek.org.za

Good news for consumers is that the updated Elec. Communications Amendment Bill has been approved - as TC writes below, it "seeks to manage the relationship between #MNOs & #MVNOs to ensure there are no discriminatory practices..." techcentral.co.za/mvnos-take-cen… #ECABill @ell1ps1s

It's entirely appropriate that Africa’s first privately-owned subsea cable is a Gigabyte Sponsor of SA's leading internet industry event, ZANOG@iWeek2026. @SEACOM has done more than its fair share to foster the growth of the internet in Africa. Check out: seacom.com

It's now less than a month until ZANOG@iWeek2026! Without sponsors like Agile Solutions Provider, SA's premier internet industry event would not kick off on 21 Apr. Agile SP specialises in carrier-grade IP transit & backhaul. Meet Agile at #iWeek & see: agilesp.co.za
