As the global Internet community gathers in Bali for ICANN87, many of the conversations will understandably focus on technological progress and the Internet's future. But alongside questions about what emerging technologies can achieve, we must consider whether economies have the capacity to adopt, adapt and govern them effectively.

On the APNIC Foundation blog, Raj Singh discusses the challenges facing the Asia Pacific as we move into the next phase of the Internet’s development cycle, and how to bring together the necessary technologies and stakeholders on a more even playing field.

AI is already reshaping how Pakistan works, learns and builds. But its benefits won’t reach everyone on their own.

Join us at EmpowerTech Islamabad 2026, hosted by the APNIC Foundation. You’ll be in a room with government, regulators, industry leaders, technical communities, researchers, startups and practitioners working out what Pakistan needs to turn AI’s potential into real digital development.

This isn’t a conference of one-way talks. It’s a conversation built around three questions:
- Capability: what skills and institutions does Pakistan need to benefit from AI?
- Policy: how do we adopt AI responsibly?
- Infrastructure: how do we make sure connectivity and access let everyone take part?

📅 25 November 2026 | 10:30 am – 4:00 pm, with a networking social to follow
📍 Mövenpick Hotel Centaurus, Islamabad

On International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, we spotlight an innovation from Thailand that uses technology to help communities prepare for landslides.

Through the APNIC Foundation’s ISIF Asia grant program, we supported an innovative landslide monitoring and early warning system developed by Walailak University มหาวิทยาลัยวลัยลักษณ์ for two remote communities in Sichon district, Nakhon Si Thammarat province.

Combining artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and resilient connectivity, the system monitors environmental conditions, assesses landslide risks and helps deliver timely warnings to communities - with the communities themselves closely involved in the development of the technology.

With five sensor nodes deployed and backup communication pathways designed to keep alerts flowing during power or Internet outages, the project demonstrates how locally developed technology can strengthen disaster preparedness.

The project was also featured in the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) report, Asia-Pacific Digital Transformation Report 2026: AI-native network infrastructure for a future digital economy: https://repository.unescap.org/items/9092f027-cb30-4378-a001-f8ec63fcee9d

From AI-generated voice scams to tampered QR codes, digital threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated. What practical steps can young people take to protect themselves?

In his latest guest blog for the APNIC Foundation, Barry O’Callaghan of ISC2 shares five practical cybersecurity lessons drawn from his experience training young Cambodians, covering phishing, social engineering, personal data protection and AI-enabled scams.

The insights come from the recent 'Digital Skills, Responsible AI and Cybersecurity for Youth Empowerment' workshop, co-hosted by the APNIC Foundation and Open Development Cambodia in Phnom Penh, bringing together 50 young people for hands-on learning, experimentation and practical problem-solving.

Delivered under the Asia-Pacific Telecommunity (APT) Young Professionals and Students Programme (APTYPS), the workshop was supported by the Australian Government's AusGov Infrastructure, AusGov Office for the Arts, AusGov Media & Tech, with ISC2 as the knowledge partner.

Digital development lasts when infrastructure, investment, skills and policy reinforce each other.

That was the focus at EmpowerTech Pacific 2026 in Nadi, Fiji, where policymakers, telecommunications leaders, technical experts, development partners and practitioners came together around the Pacific’s digital development priorities.

The discussions moved beyond infrastructure delivery: how to plan for operating costs after initial capital funding ends; build diverse restoration options for disruptions; strengthen capability through train-the-trainer models, micro-credentials and career pathways; and ensure national priorities and local realities inform investment and policy.

From Bangkok to Nadi, EmpowerTech is building a stronger bridge between the technical and policy communities across the Asia Pacific. Each dialogue is rooted in the priorities of the region itself, bringing technical realities into policy conversations and policy priorities closer to the people delivering digital development on the ground.

The next EmpowerTech will carry that dialogue into another Asia Pacific context, shaped by a different set of priorities, realities and ambitions.

The Cambodian government estimates that citizens lost more than USD $45 million to scams in 2025, and UNESCO estimates that only 32% of the Cambodian population has basic digital skills.

This is why the APNIC Foundation, together with Open Development Cambodia, co-hosted the Digital Skills, Responsible AI and Cybersecurity for Youth Empowerment workshop in Phnom Penh, bringing together 50 young people from Cambodia for a day focused on participation, experimentation and practical problem-solving.

Delivered under the Asia-Pacific Telecommunity (APT) Young Professionals and Students Programme (APTYPS), the workshop was supported by the AusGov Media & Tech, AusGov Infrastructure, AusGov Office for the Arts, Government of Australia, with ISC2 as the knowledge partner.

Participants explored practical digital skills for study and work, responsible use of AI, prompt writing and critical evaluation of AI outputs, alongside cybersecurity fundamentals including phishing, multi-factor authentication, privacy, online scams and AI-enabled deception. They then put that learning into practice through team challenges addressing real-world issues including misinformation, digital inclusion, education access, and online safety.

As Barry O’Callaghan, ISC2-authorized instructor and one of the workshop trainers, put it:

“The instincts you use today to spot a fake job offer or a phishing link are the exact skills the world desperately needs. The global cybersecurity field is facing a shortage of cybersecurity skills, especially in the age of AI, and it needs more skilled professionals. You don't need a technical background to begin; you just need curiosity, practice, and the desire to build a safer future for Cambodia.”

Across the Pacific, investment in connectivity is expanding access and capacity, and technical capability continues to grow as well. However, the next phase of digital development is about ensuring that this progress can be sustained over the long term.

On 5 October, the APNIC Foundation will convene EmpowerTech Pacific 2026: Sustainable Digital Futures in the Pacific in Nadi, Fiji — a multistakeholder dialogue convened as a complementary event within the Pacific Islands Telecommunications Association (PITA) Strategy Forum 2026 (PITA Industry Week).

Across three focused sessions, policymakers, industry leaders, technical experts and frontline practitioners will examine what long-term digital progress looks like in practice: investment aligned with national priorities and sustainable beyond initial funding; Internet infrastructure built with credible restoration options; and career pathways that help technical capability stay and grow within the Pacific.

Where are Australia’s IPv4 addresses actually being used?

The answer is less straightforward than registration records suggest.

At AusNOG 2026, our Head of Stakeholder Relations, Aftab A. Siddiqui, unpacked what registry data, BGP routing information, geofeeds and commercial geolocation data can — and cannot — tell us about the location of Australia’s IPv4 address space.

In this blog, he takes the analysis further, looking at the gaps in infrastructure visibility, the low adoption of geofeeds and why better operator-published data can support more accurate network and policy decisions.

For two alumni of the APNIC Foundation-supported SOI Asia Project's APIE Program, the APNIC Fellowship marked a step ahead in their participation in the wider Internet community.

At APNIC 62 in Mumbai, Aashish Karki from Nepal and Muhammad Furqan Riansyah Putra from Indonesia participated as members of the APNIC Fellowship Program, following their selection in 2026. Both are alumni of SOI Asia's APIE (Asia Pacific Internet Engineering) Program.

The Fellowship brought them into workshops, meetings and the APNIC conference, building on their APIE experience while exposing them to a broader ecosystem of technical practice, research and Internet governance. Their paths are different, but both show how learning can develop into deeper participation in the Internet community.
