Speaking with one voice: Navigating regulatory challenges for digital infrastructure in APAC

This high-level discussion brings together heads of government and regulatory affairs from a telco, data centre operator, fiberco and towerco to examine the evolving regulatory landscape across APAC. The panel will explore: 

• Policies & frameworks that work: Which regulations and government initiatives have most effectively advanced both business objectives and national digitalisation agendas, and which could be replicated across other markets? 

• Constructive engagement: Examples of where meaningful dialogue between industry and government has led to tangible improvements in infrastructure rollout, investment incentives and market competition. 

• Persistent roadblocks: Identifying policies, approval processes, or market structures that hinder progress and limit connectivity potential. 

• Unified industry voice: How telcos, towercos, fibrecos and data centre operators can work together to present cohesive policy recommendations that accelerate digital infrastructure deployment and bridge the digital divide. 

By bringing diverse yet interdependent segments of the digital infrastructure ecosystem into one conversation, this session will uncover actionable ways to align regulation with the region’s connectivity ambitions.
