Little Rock Technology Leader Elected First Woman President of WISPA

Elizabeth Bowles Elected President of the Wireless Internet Service Providers Association

Little Rock, AR, August 18, 2010 - Elizabeth Bowles, President of Aristotle, Inc., Little Rock based Internet and Email Service Provider, was elected President of the Wireless Internet Service Provider Association (WISPA) in the national association’s August 2010 board meeting.

As President of Aristotle, Inc., Bowles oversees the operations of Aristotle.net, Arkansas’s largest WISP (wireless internet service provider). The first woman to serve as president of WISPA, Bowles has been active nationally in defining Can-Spam regulations and is an avid proponent of nationwide broadband accessibility.

“In most states there are numerous areas around cities that are too small or areas that are too rural to make it profitable for traditional providers such as telephone or cable companies to wire for broadband Internet service,” Bowles stated. “WISPs are often the only way smaller communities can gain access to broadband Internet.”

“As President of WISPA, I hope to educate Americans on the immeasurable value WISPs provide in offering affordable broadband access to unserved and underserved areas of the country, “ Bowles continued. “The National Broadband Plan recognizes that access to affordable, high-speed Internet is critical if America wants to remain competitive in the global marketplace. No community, hospital, or school should be left behind simply because it is located in an area where it is not profitable for the landline providers to service. No student should be denied access to the Internet at home because it is too expensive for the landline carriers to provide. WISPs fill the gap left by the landline carriers and provide much-needed access to communities that otherwise would be left behind. “
