Home to over 4 billion people and covering more than 50 countries and territories, Asia-Pacific is the largest and most diverse region of the globe. The region accounts for more than half of the world’s mobile subscriber base, while only 7% of people in the region have fixed broadband access. Connecting the unconnected remains a major challenge for both governments and the industry.
Over the last few years, community networks have emerged as a complementary way to connect people and to allow for low-cost, community-driven solutions to be developed to connect people in underserved locations. However, these community-led solutions face a number of challenges that require policymakers and regulators consideration so that they may flourish.
Jointly organized by ESCAP (Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific) and the Internet Society, this multistakeholder dialogue covered technology, best practices, regulations and socioeconomic issues; highlighted community network projects in the region as best practice; and included policy options for infrastructure sharing, spectrum allocation, and universal service funds.

Today, Thursday 26 September 2019 at 1pm EDT (17:00 UTC) the Online Trust Alliance presents a Webinar: Are Organizations Ready for New Privacy Regulations? The 10th Online Trust Audit analyzed 29 variables in 1,200 privacy statements to determine how well they convey information to users. A new report takes another look at these privacy statements in the context of common themes across three global privacy regulations – the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). The report revealed that many organizations’ privacy statements fail to meet common principles outlined in GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, including the user’s right to request information, right to understand how their data is being shared with third parties and the ability of that information to be deleted upon request. Join us for this public webinar to discuss the common themes across major privacy legislation and how organizations are preparing for these new laws.
