Hi Pascal,

I'm not saying I'm against your below list - haven't thought about it enough yet - but an "ISP association" seems to imply ISPs - Internet Service Providers. Your list might be tending to an "Internet association" (it depends on what "so on" means I guess). It would be good to have an "ISP association" to stand up for ISPs.

An ISP to me means being obligated to register at BAKOM as a telecommunications provider ("Registrierung als gemeldete Fernmeldedienstanbieterin") *because* one is offering some sort of public Internet services.

AFAIK, the BAKOM obligation applies if you are providing internet _access_ services. "public Internet services" is a much wider definition.
