From gpetrova at ripe.net Wed Mar 20 15:04:18 2019 From: gpetrova at ripe.net (Gergana Petrova) Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2019 15:04:18 +0100 Subject: [RACI-list] Call for Papers - Internet Consolidation Message-ID: <41367fac-bd54-f8a0-a96a-57850ef51b6d@ripe.net> Hi all, I'd like to share with you the call for papers put out by Chatham House and the Internet Society on Internet Consolidation. ---- The Internet Society and Chatham House are collaborating on a special issue of the Journal of Cyber Policy, on the impact of consolidation in the Internet?s fundamental architecture, including structural dependencies across its many layers. All articles in the special issue will be open access. In recent years there has been a growing debate around the influence of a few large Internet technology companies and the concentration of providers in consumer-visible and audible services. As a result, what was once widely viewed as a collective platform for limitless permissionless innovation, competition, and growth is increasingly experienced as a consolidated environment dominated by a few. The Internet Society and Chatham House are planning a special issue of the Journal of Cyber Policy, aimed at discovering the extent to which similar forces for market dominance could be affecting the Internet?s fundamental architecture. Please submit a paper outline or abstract of no more than 400 words by 1 April 2019, which should sketch out the key ideas in the proposed paper. https://think.taylorandfrancis.com/journal-cyber-policy-internet-consolidation/ -------- Best regards, Gergana -- Gergana Petrova External Relations RIPE NCC
