Dear colleagues, Last month, at the RIPE NCC Days Tashkent event in Uzbekistan, my colleague Anastasiya Pak caught up with Shavkat Sabirov of the Internet Association of Kazakhstan to talk about the state of the Internet in Central Asia. Tune in ahead of the first Central Asia Peering and Interconnection Forum (CAPIF 1) to hear more about challenges in the development of the Central Asian Internet and why there’s a need for a more close-knit Internet community in the region: https://labs.ripe.net/author/anastasiya-pak/the-internet-in-central-asia/ Best regards, Alun Davies RIPE Labs Editor RIPE NCC
