| With an eye on improved coordination of national
Internet growth strategy, Netizens this week established the Sociedad
Internet de España (ISOC-ES), the Spanish chapter of the Internet Society (ISOC).
The charter assembly coincided with the Third Meeting of Internet Services
Providers in Torremolinos and was organized by ISOC's Andalusian chapter,
ISOCANDA. Provincial ISOC chapters
of Catalonia, Galicia and Aragon also supported formation of a national
organization.
The new national body will attempt to bring together "users, Internet
providers, major operators and public administration" and "act as referee,
promoter and lobby for an Internet within reach of all Spaniards," Vmctor
Domingo, president of the Asociación de Internautas, told Europa Press.

Even with several hundred smaller national ISPs, Spanish Net use stands at
around 5 percent of the population -- far behind the 40 percent usage
attributed to nations like Sweden or Finland. Internet user groups
attribute this lag largely to the high local telephone rates, poor service
and slow access.
A step beyond the existence of ISOC chapters at the provincial level, this
week's meeting made good on a June decision by the smaller groups to create
a strategy at the national level. Despite a lack of nationwide
institutional representation, two Spaniards (José Luis Pardos, Spain's
ambassador to Denmark, and Manuel Sanromá, astronomy professor at Rovira e
Virgili University in Tarragona) serve on ISOC's international board of
directors.
