The APNIC Development Program a Global, Open, Stable, and Secure Internet That Serves the Entire The APNIC Development Program A global, open, stable, and secure Internet that serves the entire Asia Pacific community The Internet in the Asia Pacific For millions of people across the Asia Pacific the Internet is an essential fact of life. From all walks of life, they depend on it for their livelihoods, health, education and much more. For many, it has always been there and is always available. But there are millions of others who are still unconnected; and millions more who have only limited or restricted access to the Internet. If they are to be better educated, healthy, and more productive citizens of the Asia Pacific, it is essential they get connected. To get people, business, and organizations connected – and ensure they stay connected – takes robust and resilient modern networks, properly managed by trained and experienced technicians. Just as we all need well-trained doctors to help keep us fit and healthy, the Internet needs well-trained technicians and engineers to help keep it fast, reliable, secure and inexpensive. But the Internet is growing fast – too fast for any static curriculum to keep up. What we need - as well as good tertiary training - is current and relevant experiential learning, through interactive workshops, tutorials, fellowships and technical assistance. A truly healthy Internet requires a vibrant, hands-on approach to training for all those involved in building and maintaining it. 1 The Challenges Many reports predict the Internet boom in the Asia Pacific will continue with strong growth in traffic, devices and users. By 2019, the region will have the most Internet traffic from mobile devices in the world.1 Another report2 on Pacific Island nations says recent submarine cable installations have resulted in an explosion of capacity. Across the Pacific, international Internet bandwidth jumped more than 1,500% between 2007 and 2014, rising from fewer than 100 Mbit/s to over 1 Gbit/s. But those who travel the region know the availability, stability, speed, and security of Internet services vary widely from place to place. Users in some developing economies tolerate conditions that are unacceptable in the developed world, and which will seriously limit the benefits that the Internet can deliver. The Human Challenge The Technical Challenge The single biggest factor affecting with network skills in emerging Meanwhile, the region is facing 3) Stability and scalability: 6) Regulation: The Internet’s the Internet’s success is the technologies and for well-trained a growing list of technical Having reached the success is based on capacity of service providers teams that focus on higher value- challenges including: “first billion” users in the a unique model of to properly build and manage added activities”. booming cities of the Asia consensus-driven and their networks.

Focus Groups The aim of this exercise is to obtain views of the Members and Stakeholders as to what are currently relevant to their needs. Smaller focus group discussions were held to determine these issues and then questions posed in the survey. These discussions were held in March and April 2012 in a cross-section of Asia Pacific cities to give small groups the opportunity to consider and put forward their suggestions. The groups met in the following locations: Australia (Sydney), Bangladesh (Dhaka), Cambodia (Phnom Penh), China (Beijing and Guangzhou), Hong Kong SAR, India (Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata), Japan (Tokyo), Nepal (Kathmandu), the Philippines (Manila), Singapore, South Korea (Seoul), and Vietnam (Hanoi). These economies were selected based on the customer base and geography. All who participated in the discussions were assured at each of the discussion meetings of the confidentiality of their comments by the consultants.

IPv4 and IPv6 in the Asia Pacific region Addressing the challenge of responsible Internet resource distribution in the Asia Pacific region Asia Pacific Network Information Centre About APNIC As one of five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) in the world, the About APNIC About Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC) is a not-for- profit, membership-based organisation charged with ensuring the fair distribution of IP addresses and the related numeric resources in the Asia Pacific region. Responsible management of these resources is vital for the stable and reliable operation of the Internet. In 1993, APNIC made its first IPv4 address allocation. Six years later, APNIC began distributing IPv6 addresses to Asia Pacific networks and actively supporting IPv6 deployment efforts in the region. The IPv4 Internet will be at full capacity within a few years The APNIC community is a true multi-stakeholder environment, experienced in the use of bottom-up self-regulatory processes to achieve best practice outcomes for Internet addressing. Through its open policy development processes, the community is responding to IPv4 depletion and the slow deployment of IPv6, and is working to address these issues over the coming years.
