Malcolm Siegel co-founder of Routed.
Malcolm Siegel, the co-founder of neutral cloud infrastructure provider Routed, has been appointed to the board of the Internet Service Providers' Association (ISPA).
According to Routed, Siegel served as an ISPA member since 2011, in a role within the INX working group management committee.
In his new position, Siegel will have a more direct involvement within the association, playing a vital role in decision-making and the overall management of the association.
Siegel explains: "ISPA has influenced and shaped telecommunications policy in SA since 1996, and I am excited to be playing a more committed role in the association. Innovation within this sector is at an all-time high and I am really energised to be closer to the coalface."
Outlining the key challenges moving forward, Siegel says that the regulation of voice termination rates; FTTH and how to deliver it cost-effectively; and cloud adoption and ways to speed up movement into the cloud; are some of the significant challenges faced by the industry.
"It's an inspiring time for ISPA and its members. The next five years should see some exceptional progress and innovation and I look forward to playing a pivotal role both within ISPA and also at Routed," Siegel points out.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Siegel previously worked as a connectivity product manager for connectivity provider RSAWEB and also worked for E Cash Systems as a security specialist.
