Today we have launched the 2024 ISPA Awards, with entries open across 15 of 17 total categories.
In what is set to be another significant year for the sector, the 2024 ISPA Awards offer the chance to celebrate the progress and achievements of the UK internet industry over the past 12 months.
In a dynamic sector that is accelerating deployment of improved connectivity infrastructure and services across the UK, underpinning its future as a leading digital nation, we are pleased to unveil several new and refreshed categories that reflect the trends and successes of industry. To represent the different deployments of fibre across the UK, Best Rural Infrastructure and Best Urban Infrastructure have been introduced, replacing the premises passed requirements of previous years.
This year, the awards will highlight important aspects that go beyond the standard build and delivery of service from ISPs. ISPA is hoping to commend organisations investing resources towards communities, people and the environment through the new Best Community Engagement, Best Sustainability and Best Diversity, Equity and Inclusion awards.
Additionally, the importance of providing better connectivity for UK business has been highlighted in the new Best SME ISP and Best Enterprise ISP awards, showcasing ISPs that offer quality business services to a range of customers. These two categories and several other categories will undergo months of rigorous independent technical testing from our partners, thinkbroadband.
