Dear Commissioner, Thank you very much for your kind words. The slides from the training course are now up on the website.
We are now firming up plans to offer the course again in March 2008 in Singapore. We hope we will see participation from NTC again.

Thank you for presenting this valuable information on telecom development. I have downloaded all the presentations and learnt a lot from them. I am grateful for the presenters for making them useful even for someone who do not get the opportunity to hear you talk.
The question however, is how far these findings are used by the Regulatory authorities in their policy planning and implementation. It will be of little use if the information remains in the pdf files. The authorities should not only read them but effectively use them in their decision making process as well.
I wish you all the best.

Election Misinformation in South and South-East Asia: The phenomenon and measures to counter it | Report Draft
In 2023, LIRNEasia led an IDRC-funded project to 1) understand election influence operations and measures to counter disinformation globally, especially pertaining to Asia; 2) map actors who are involved in election related counter-disinformation actions in five countries in South and Southeast Asia, and 3) document their past and upcoming activities related to countering disinformation around elections. This research was intended to lay the groundwork for a network of actors, enabling them to systematically work towards countering disinformation related to elections and document the impact of their actions.
