The Internet in Asia is increasingly vital to the region’s development and efficiency. India and Indonesia are two of the region's largest Internet economies with a combined population of almost two billion people.

Leading proponents of the Internet in the Asia Pacific and the Internet communities in India and Indonesia will provide insights on how the Internet is revolutionizing these economies.
