Keynote Panel: The new interconnection economy: partnerships, peering & power dynamics

02 Dec 2026
ITW Asia
As digital traffic patterns grow more complex and latency-sensitive, interconnection is moving to the centre of network strategy. This panel explores how cross-border connectivity is becoming critical to service performance, resilience and commercial competitiveness across Asia. Speakers will examine the evolution of peering and partnership models, the growing importance of regional alliances linking ASEAN’s digital hubs, and the shifting power dynamics between carriers, hyperscalers and infrastructure players. The discussion will also address how regulatory frameworks and data sovereignty requirements are increasingly shaping traffic flows and interconnection strategies.
