The American Alliance of Service Providers is an organization that was set up to join together ISPs in a unified front. AASP also has other Internet related companies offering Web Design and Web Hosting as members. We, as a small ISP watching the events in the ISP industry, had concerns about the future of the small to medium sized ISPs. We decided that to get ISPs better pricing and other benefits that a group effort would be needed, and so AASP was born. AASP has grown to over 800 ISPs. These ISPs collectively bring to the table more than 5.3 Million consumers and take a collective number of Web Hits per month to the tune of 220 Million and employ over 8,400 people.
