About SPN Alliance
Built around participation, ownership, and shared benefit.
Member owned by design
SPNA is not a reseller front. It is a member-owned organisation created to help service providers collaborate on real infrastructure.
Full and Associate routes
Full Members vote on changes and commercial direction. Associate Members join the community, gain visibility, and can step up when the time is right.
Practical onboarding
The onboarding path is straightforward: discussion, approval, MOU, fees, access to shared docs and channels, then first deployment.
Collaborative innovation
Members use MIGs to propose ideas, agree terms, and evolve shared services without losing commercial flexibility.
Membership fees
Clear annual fees for Associate and Full Members.
Joining fees are currently waived as a special offer. Membership runs from 1 October to 30 September, with new members charged pro rata to 30 September when they join partway through the year.
