Architecture and economic policy

Marjory S Blumenthal

Telecommunications Policy, 1996, vol. 20, issue 3, 161-167

Abstract: The Internet is a passion for network technologists and a puzzle for economists. Each discipline needs to understand more of the thinking of the other to advance, but achieving that goal has been slow and difficult. Four papers were developed to further interdisciplinary analysis in the context of the 1995 Telecommunications Policy Research Conference. As explained below, it is hoped that this set of papers will advance telecommunications policy analysis by clarifying the nature of the Internet--in particular, the nature and implications of its architecture-- and by framing economic questions based on that characterization, providing a foundation for further research.
