THE INTERNET ALLIANCE: INFORMATION AND RESOURCES

As part of its commitment to serving and advocating for the Internet industry, the Internet Alliance has compiled this sampling of recent white papers, testimony before state legislative committees by Executive Director Emily Hackett, and Q&A information sheets on the recent CAN SPAM acts enacted in the state of California and by the US Congress. We believe that these materials demonstrate the efficacy and expertise of IA lobbyists and spokespeople, and also highlight the importance of industry lobbying efforts at the state level as well as on the federal and international levels.
