  WEBCAST THU-FRI: European #CommunityNetworks Summit “Community Networks: Connecting the Next Billion” in Tbilisi, Georgia #CNsummit2019 #SwitchItOn #nextbillion 

  On November 14-15 2019 the Internet Society, in partnership with the Georgian Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development, organizes the European Community Networks Summit “Community Networks: Connecting the Next Billion” in Tbilisi, Georgia. Over the past few years, community networks have emerged as a low-cost, community-driven way to bring Internet connections to some of the remotest and underserved parts of the world, including in the mountainous region of Tusheti, Georgia. However, these community-led solutions face many challenges that require policymaker’s consideration to flourish.

  WEBCAST TODAY: 2019 Asia-Pacific Regional #CommunityNetworks Summit @UNESCAP @ISOCapac #cn #switchiton 

  Today Monday 7 October 2019, at 08:00 UTC the Internet Society Livestream Channel will provide a webcast of the 2019 Asia-Pacific Regional Community Networks Summit, which was convened at the United Nations Conference Centre in Bangkok, Thailand on Thursday 29 August 2019.

  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.
