Abstract: The article describes the newest tendencies in the development of the Internet in the context of theoretical investigations considering its technological aspect which is a classical problem in the media studies. This issue has become especially urgent with the arrival of new media and made theory to rethink it from the beginning. Its separated variant appeared also in a more specific field of the media management. The newest tendencies in the development of the Internet take now two key directions: acceleration and enrichment of the traffic incurrent infrastructure or fundamental reconstruction of current infrastructure based on new criteria (clean slate paradigm). Although both of them present clear pragmatics, which is provided by the commercial aspect of Web, they understand its status in a very different ways (objective reality vs. state service). They also realize the classical theoretical ambivalence in media studies which holds on one side a deterministic attitude (technological determinism) and on the second the idea that technology mainly arises as a result of mostly economically driven social need.
