Emailing "ISPCON Closes"
I am writing this blog note to inform the ISP community that ISPCON will not
run this year or in the foreseeable future. A conference that predates the
Internet (when it was known as BBSCON, some of you may recall a fierce
debate over whether the Internet should be commercialized) has become out of
date. The Internet has moved on to smartphones, social media and
user-generated content (for which [Mediabistro has several strong shows)](http://www.mediabistro.com/events/).
It has been a privilege to run ISPCON and to bring together so many of the
leaders of this industry.
