Virtual Internet Service Provider, a
company that resells the services of a "real" isp under its own
brand, negating the need for its own expensive equipment and fast
connections to the wider internet. Visps typically offer the same
services as conventional isps, such as e-mail and web hosting,
passing on a percentage of their revenue to the company actually providing
the service. Many well-known companies all over the world have become
visps, including banks, publishers and supermarket chains, using the
strength of their brands and customer relationships to build new revenue
sources. |
