title = "Internet economics: When constituencies collide in cyberspace",
abstract = "Computer engineering, economics, and public policy offer different perspectives on the problem of sustaining Internet growth without abandoning the technological innovations that underpin the infrastructure - and culture - of global information. This article offers a framework for addressing this interdisciplinary challenge.",

note = "Funding Information: The findings in this article are partially a result of our work in organizing the Internet Economics Workshop (http://rpcp.mit.edu/Workshops/cfp.html), sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the Advanced Research Projects Agency and held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on 9 and 10 March 1995. The goal of the workshop was to bring together the colliding constituencies—the industry leaders, academics, and policy-makers—from both a technical and economic perspective to reach a rough consensus on a framework for understanding Internet economics. This happened at a time when the federally funded NSFNet Internet backbone was phased out to be succeeded by the commercialized Internet infrastructure. Results from the workshop were subsequently developed into a book, Internet Economics (MIT Press),1 that addresses these issues in depth. Funding Information: “Internet Economics,”24 which was also presented at INET 95. Our work has been supported in part by the US National Aeronautics & Space Administration through fellowship NGT-51407, the US National Science Foundation through grant no. NCR-9307548, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency through contract N00174-93-C-0036, and the Internet Telephony Consortium. In addition, specific support of the electronic and print publication of Internet Economics has been provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Jr. Foundation.
