Dear colleagues, We’ve published the latest in our series of country reports, this time highlighting five countries in Central Asia. This is the fifth such country report that the RIPE NCC has produced as part of an ongoing effort to support Internet development throughout our service region by making our data and insights available to both local technical communities and decision makers. The report looks at the state of the Internet in Central Asia, including its market landscape and regulatory environment, Internet number resources and opportunities for growth, access to the domain name system and traffic exchange points, and the operators and paths providing international transit into the region. You can learn more and download the report from RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/ripe-ncc-internet-countr... <https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/ripe-ncc-internet-country-report-central-asia> We’re hosting an online discussion for the local Internet community about the report’s findings and its implications for Internet governance in the region on 14 October from 10:00-11:30 CEST. You’re welcome to join in the discussion, but please note that it will take place in Russian: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/open-house/ripe-ncc-open-house-cen... <https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/open-house/ripe-ncc-open-house-central-asia-internet-country-report> Please let us know your thoughts about the report and what kind of data and analyses you find useful. And please share it with any colleagues who might be interested. Best regards, Suzanne Taylor RIPE NCC
