Next Generation Internet -- A special issue of Telecommunications
Policy

You are invited to forward this message to interested people.

The editorial and some of the articles from a special double issue of
Telecommunications Policy (24-6/7, July/August 2000) are now online at
http://www.tpeditor.com .

The theme of the issue is "Next Generation Internet". 

The lead article, _Understanding Next Generation Internet: An Overview
of Developments_, is by Tony Rutkowski, special adviser to the issue.
He introduces the NGI, the initiatives driving it forward, some major
elements of NGI development, and points to some links to important
market and policy issues.  He reminds us that the Internet is
not a network as we typically conceive a network, but a means for
integrating networks and services.  As he sees it, the NGI is an
"enabling mechanism" for experimentation from everywhere, and for the
development of ubiquitous mass services.

In another article, Jens Arnbak, Chair of the Dutch telecom regulator,
OPTA, looks at some important issues for telecom regulation in the
dynamic NGI technology and market environment.  He points to the
importance of unbundling network transmission components into basic
layers of physical capacity, network management, value-added services
and content services.  This provides a foundation for promoting
competition and experimentation more effectively, and a guide to
focus regulation more sharply in the specific levels of the network
where it is needed.  He presents what he calls the "open space" for
network communication, and argues that a major role for regulators
is maximizing efficient access opportunities to that space.  The
important forthcoming issues of fixed-mobile integration and UMTS
licensing are presented as illustrative applications of his framework
for analysis.

Three reviews are online: Christopher Hunter reviews Simson
Garfinkel's _Database Nation_ , Carleen Maitland reviews _Trust in
Cyberspace_, a collection edited by Fred Schneider, and Kas Kalba
reviews _Internet and Society_, a study by the Stanford Institute for
the Quantitative Study of Society.

Also online, in the Current Statistics section, Matthew Zook writes
about using host and domain counts to map the internet.

The issue's editorial, abstracts for all articles, and links to
authors' prepublication versions are also at http://www.tpeditor.com .

Telecommunications Policy is concerned with the changing roles of
telecommunications in the economy and society.  It provides a forum
for research and debate amongst academics, policymakers, regulators,
industry managers, consultants and other professionals.  Its
orientation is multidisciplinary and international, encompassing
issues of both theory and practice.  Its scope includes issues of
telecom reform at national, regional and international levels,
including issues confronting both developed and developing countries.
It pays particular attention to the implications of convergence for
knowledge infrastructure development, management and regulation.
