Lesetip: Internet Architecture and Innovation
Barbara van Schewick hat in Berlin an der TU Rechtswissenschaften und Informatik studiert. Heute ist sie Professor of Electrical Engineering (by Courtesy) and Faculty Director, Center for Internet and Society.
Nun ist ihr neues Buch erschienen: “Internet Architecture and Innovation”. Vor ein paar Jahren hat sie ihre Dissertation zum Thema “Architecture and Innovation: The Role of the End-to-End Arguments in the Original Internet” geschrieben.
Marvin Ammori hat das Hauptargument des Buches zusammengefasst: Internet Policy: Most Important Book in Years is Now Out.
The relationship between innovation and the Internet’s architecture has been central to government policy debates around the world–as well as to the business plans of entrepreneurs and investors. While others have asserted and guessed that the Internet’s architecture fosters economic innovation, she puts these assertions on solid theoretical and empirical ground, incorporating insights from engineering, management science, behavioral economics, real options theory, network economics, evolutionary economics, and legal policy. […]
She ends with a discussion of policy, identifying the features of the Internet’s architecture that we must preserve to ensure robust innovation, and discussing the proper role of government policy in preserving architectural features necessary for innovation.
