APNIC staff participated at the 9th Policy and Regulation Forum for Pacific (PRFP-9) in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea (PNG).
The objective of the Forum is to bring together the telecommunications and ICT policy makers and regulators from the Pacific region for a dialogue on contemporary issues.
This year’s Forum was hosted by the National Information and Communications Technology Authority (NICTA) of PNG and was held from 28 to 30 June 2016. The event is organized by the intergovernmental organization for the Asia Pacific, the APT (Asia Pacific Telecommunity).
