From JPNIC
Dear Readers,
It's that time of year again!! "Internet Week 2023" is about to start, and is the focus of Special Article 1. Internet Week is an event where people involved in the research and development, construction, operation, and services of Internet-related technologies gather to learn about, discuss, and facilitate more in-depth understanding and exchange of basic knowledge and the latest trends in Internet infrastructure and related technologies. This year's theme is "Gather around! Do Internetworking!" 2023 is a year of reunions and new encounters in real life post-COVID, so the program is organized around the concept of "Let's get together, listen, and talk". There is a lot of value to be created by knowing the overall trends of the Internet and networking with many different things. We look forward to welcoming many of you and improving together!!
The APNIC56 meeting to discuss IP address and AS number allocation policies and Internet-related technical trends in the Asia-Pacific region was held in Kyoto, Japan from Thursday, September 7 to Thursday, September 14, 2023.

“Introducing JPNIC Members” focuses on a particular JPNIC member engaged in interesting activities.

The company was founded in 1978 and has been providing Internet access services since 1995, making it one of the best-established companies in the industry, and its brand name, "MIND," is highly prestigious. They have supported the development of the Mitsubishi Electric Group in ICT (Information and Communication Technology), and thanks to their advanced technological capabilities, their systems and services are now being used by many corporate customers outside the Mitsubishi Electric Group. Recently, they have been strengthening their managed security services, and in October 2022, they established the "MIND Cyber Fusion Center", a one-stop facility that can assist customers with cyber incidents from identification to recovery. The facility is well equipped and highly impressive!!
