Are there anyone here that does community networks in Southeast Asia? I’m from the Philippines.
Hello,
Thank you for your questions. There are indeed Community Networks (CNs) in the Asia-Pacific Region. The Association for Progressive Communications (APC) is currently working with several of the CNs in the region, including those in India, Myanmar, Indonesia, and Kyrgyzstan. More information about this project is here (https://www.apc.org/en/node/35438/). Furthermore, there are active CNs in Nepal, Thailand, and other countries.
With best regards,
Talant
Hi @jan.jansalin . I moved your question to its own post so others can follow up on your question!

Hello @jan.jansalin apart from what @talant has mentioned, there are also several SE Asia partners listed in the 2018 GISWatch book: https://www.giswatch.org/community-networks
Just to name a few that are in the book: Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Phillipines (do you know the UP - Diliman project?) and Thailand. Also, @mike- any other suggestions?
Good luck!
