*Monday 7 October 2019*, at *08:00 UTC* the *Internet Society Livestream
Channel <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/>* will provide a webcast
of the *2019 Asia-Pacific Regional Community Networks Summit
<https://www.internetsociety.org/events/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 <https://www.unescap.org/>* (Economic and
Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific) and the *Internet Society
<https://InternetSociety.org>*, 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.
