For over three decades, the Internet Society has argued against measures that unnecessarily disrupt Internet infrastructure and people’s ability to access and use the Internet.
In that time, we have and will continue to urge policymakers to consider how individual decisions about Internet infrastructure may affect the people, services, and civic spaces that depend on a resilient and trusted Internet.

Next week, our team will be in Kigali to attend the African Peering and Interconnection Forum (@AfPIF) alongside network operators, technical experts, policymakers, and civil society.
When #AfPIF began in 2010, African Internet traffic often took a detour around the world to reach neighboring countries. Since then, the AfPIF community has done crucial work to advance the infrastructure and interconnection needed to keep more Internet traffic local, helping to reduce costs, improve performance, and strengthen the continent’s digital economy.
Today, that same community is working within countries and across borders to strengthen local infrastructure, build economic opportunity, and expand access to affordable, reliable, and resilient Internet.
