This is a great discussion around #InternetGovernance, the #UN, the recent #WSIS +20 review, the importance of #InternetAccess, and in general about what's at stake for the future of the #Internet if we don't get this right... if you have 40 minutes, I recommend giving it a listen!

#Internetaccess in #Iran, particularly through mobile devices, appears to be #limited amid widespread #protests. #CloudflareRadar reports a significant drop in IPv6 traffic, a standard used for mobile infrastructure, while #NetBlocks confirms connectivity issues with various providers. This targeted internet disruption aims to hinder protest coordination. https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/mena/2026/01/08/iran-internet-blocked-ipv6/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Great video about the work (and need!) to improve #InternetAccess in indigenous communities...
Indigenous communities face many barriers to connectivity, such as geographic isolation and historical exclusion. That’s why these populations are among the most underconnected around the world.
We believe that everyone deserves access to the Internet and the opportunities it brings. That’s why we’re dedicated to supporting #IndigenousConnectivity.🌐

Sadly, we are unable to hold any new verification calls today as @joynewacc, who is suffering through the same situation as the people she is trying to help in Gaza, has temporarily lost her Internet connection.
If you can’t reach her today, it’s not cause for worry.
We’ve moved our scheduled calls to tomorrow and we will see if we can squeeze in a few tomorrow, the Internet situation in Gaza permitting.
