ITW Asia 2026

Roundtable topics include: 

Table 1: Where are Asia's biggest connectivity chokepoints? 

Which routes, landing stations, markets and interconnection hubs create the greatest concentration risk? How exposed is the region to outages, geopolitical tensions and single points of failure? 

(carriers, subsea operators, policymakers, infrastructure strategists) 

Table 2:  What does a resilient network look like? 

How should operators balance subsea, terrestrial fibre and satellite infrastructure? What is the right mix of redundancy, route diversity and cost efficiency? 

(carriers, subsea operators, satellite providers, enterprise connectivity teams) 

Table 3:  Who pays for resilience - and how do you justify the business case? 

Everyone wants resilient infrastructure, but who ultimately funds redundant routes and spare capacity? How do operators justify resilience investments before a crisis occurs? 

(carriers, hyperscalers, enterprise buyers, investors) 

Table 4:  Can Asia diversify beyond its traditional digital hubs? 

As AI demand grows, which emerging markets and corridors could reduce dependence on a small number of established hubs? Where should infrastructure be built next? 

(carriers, data centres, investors, infrastructure developers)
