Over the past seven years, the APNIC Blog’s readership has grown dramatically – thank you! – and it has become a go-to place for the Internet community to explore, discuss and share topics relevant to network operations and the Internet.
However, sometimes it’s hard to tell the whole story in a blog post. And with busy schedules, it can be easier to listen to a story on the move rather than read it.
We’re excited to announce today that APNIC has launched PING, a new podcast for people who want to look behind the scenes into the workings of the Internet.
Episodes will run for 30-40 minutes, so you can listen to them on your lunch breaks or commuting to the office (or home office).
