At the core of USIIA's membership are the companies and individuals engaged in Internet commerce, content and connectivity. The Association was created through the efforts of more than eighty Founding Members who joined in the early months and helped to shape the organization's policies, direction and programs. Other special members of the Association are our Emeritus Members, who are honored for their contribution to the success and growth of the Association. USIIA is primarily comprised of organizational and corporate, though we do retain a small number of individual members as well. The membership of USIIA consists of representatives of a broad cross-section of the Internet industry: Internet Service Providers, aggregators and wholesalers comprise 79.5 percent of the membership, the largest single group. These are broadband infrastructure and network operations companies of every size, and include backbone providers, content delivery networks, telecommunications companies, wireless companies, cable companies and other platforms for broadband service. Among the many ISPs served are the nearly 1,000 rural telecommunications companies, whose state telecom associations are members of USIIA and who are represented by a seat on our board of directors. Information Services -- from major web sites and web hosting services to news and information sites -- comprise 13 percent of the membership. Media editors and reporters are not included among the dues-paying members, but comprise 3 percent of the membership. Academic and Non-Profit members -- other Internet associations, institutions of higher education, and charitable groups -- are 5 percent of the membership. Hardware companies comprise 0.5 percent of the membership.
