In Latin America, there are still some deficiencies in this regard which result in many people experiencing high latencies in their connections. The main reason for these latencies is the lack of local interconnection between different network operators, which means that traffic between nearby countries must often use distant Internet exchange points, located in the United States or Europe. The deployment of various Internet exchange points (IXPs) has helped improve this situation, although the actual status of connectivity between countries and networks remains a mystery. To find answers to these unknowns, some time ago LACNIC created Simón1, a project that seeks to generate information by measuring latency levels between countries and in this way estimate traffic volumes.

Políticas De Administración De Recursos De
LACNIC POLICY MANUAL (v2.4 – 19/11/2015) ABSTRACT For the region of Latin America and the Caribbean, IP address space is allocated by IANA to LACNIC for its subsequent allocation and assignment to National Internet Registries (NIRs), Internet Service Providers (ISPs), and end users. In addition, administration of Autonomous System Numbers and reverse resolution space are critical components for the efficient operation of the Internet on a global level. This document describes the policies and procedures relating to the allocation, assignment and administration of IPv4 and IPv6 address space, ASN, and the delegation of the reverse resolution space assigned to Latin America and the Caribbean. These policies must be followed by NIRs, ISPs, and end users. Change Log: Version 1.0 - Original Version. Version 1.1 - Global ASNs Policy (LAC-2007-08) added. Version 1.2 - Global Policy for the Allocation of the Remaining IPv4 Address Space (LAC-2008-01) added. Version 1.3 - IPv6 Allocations to ISPs or LIRs with previous IPv4 allocations (LAC-2009-02) added. ASPLAIN notation for 32-bit ASNs (LAC-2009-03) added. Allocation of 16-bit only ASNs (LAC-2009-05) added. Modification of the minimum initial IPv4 allocation size for ISPs to a /22 (LAC-2009-07) added. Version 1.4 - Transfers of IPv4 Blocks within the LACNIC Region (LAC-2009-04) added. Resource recovery (LAC-2009-06) added. Modifications to the IPv6 Prefix Initial Allocation Policy (LAC-2007-01) added. Version 1.5 - Modification: 2.3.3.3. Direct Allocations to Internet Service Providers (LAC-2009-09) added. Initial allocation and assignment of IPv4 addresses for ISPs (LAC-2010-05) added.

Marcelo Corradini Brasil Brief biography. Marcelo Corradini, 55, managing partner of Kyatera and ISSO, committed to improving the Internet and online freedom in Brazil and Latin America: • Advisor to Abrint for six consecutive years • Director of Abrint for three years • Elected to LACNIC's Electoral Commission • Speaker on VoIP for the ABRINT na Estrada project Participated in different conferences in Brazil and around the world, including: • LACNIC 23 – Lima – Peru • LACNIC 24 – Bogota – Colombia • LACNIC 25 – La Habana– Cuba • LACNIC 26 – San Jose – Costa Rica • LACNIC 27 – Foz do Iguaçu – Brazil Among other activities, he has worked towards developing alliances and innovative products, visiting companies and research centers such as: • Russian Research Center in Moscow • QTECH fiber optic equipment manufacturer in Moscow • Television and Internet company model in the city of Voronej, Russia • Technology fair – CeBIT in Hannover, Germany • University of Copenhagen, Denmark • Ericsson Research Centre in Stockholm, Sweden • Stockholm City Council Cabling Company - STOKAB Tell us about yourself and your interests. The story of Kyatera began long before its foundation. In 1997, a time when Marcelo Corradini had a degree in chemistry and owned a chemical plant, there was much talk about the rise of the Internet and e-mail in Brazil. During a meeting with his commercial representative in the city of Nova Odessa (in the region of Campinas), he was asked to send some applications via e-mail and Corradini noticed that there were no Internet providers in the region. He immediately saw this as a great opportunity. Tell us about your work experience, education and professional development.

An Internet Exchange Point is a technical facility. This is distinct from the organization that provides that facility, which might be termed an IXP operator. • 2. An IXP is distinct from an Internet access network or a transit network/carrier. • 3. The function of an IXP is to interconnect networks.

I could list the many actions we completed in 2013, especially those relating to the defense of net neutrality against constant global control and surveillance attempts. This is not, however, what I want to talk about, as in the following pages you will find plenty of material on the progress made by LACNIC in preserving the balance of the regional and global Internet ecosystem. Instead, I would like to focus on two specific aspects of 2013, one of which illustrates the spirit of our organization within its community, while the second showcases our team's professionalism and their permanent search for excellence in the service we provide.

Locating Political Power in Internet Infrastructure by Ashwin Jacob Mathew Doctor of Philosophy in Information University of California, Berkeley Professor John Chuang, Co-chair Professor Coye Cheshire, Co-chair With the rise of global telecommunications networks, and especially with the worldwide spread of the Internet, the world is considered to be becoming an information society: a society in which social relations are patterned by information, transcending time and space through the use of new information and communications technologies. Much of the popular press and academic literature on the information society focuses on the dichotomy between the technologically-enabled virtual space of information, and the physical space of the ma- terial world. However, to understand the nature of virtual space, and of the information society, it is critical to understand the politics of the technological infrastructure through which they are constructed.

Internet Week Guyana LACNIC On The Move Guyana the Second Edition of LACNIC on the Move
Internet Week Guyana LACNIC On The Move Guyana The second edition of LACNIC On The Move for 2017 was held successfully on October 12 at the Pegasus Hotel, Georgetown, Guyana. LACNIC On The Move Guyana was part of a wider initiative called Internet Week Guyana held from October 9 to 13. The five-day event was hosted by the Guyana Ministry of Public Telecommunications, and jointly organised by LACNIC, the Caribbean Network Operators Group (CaribNOG), the Internet Society, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the Caribbean Telecommunications Union (CTU). The American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) also supported the initiative. The weeklong meeting was geared towards ISP technicians, policy makers, regulators, ICT professionals, university students and other Internet stakeholders. It focused on enhancing knowledge about Internet numbering resources, registry services, and sharing best practices on issues such as IPv6 deployment, Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) for resource certification and Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC). Sergio Rojas, Registration Services Specialist, provided an overview of how the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) work to assign and register Internet number resources like IP addresses and autonomous systems for their respective
