  • Challenges in Measuring the Internet for the Public Interest

    Open Accesskc claffy, David D ClarkARTICLEJournal of Information Policy2022

    The goal of this article is to offer framing for conversations about the role of measurement in informing public policy about the Internet. We review different stakeholders’ approaches to measurements and associated challenges, including the activities of U.S. government agencies. We show how taxonomies of existing harms can facilitate the search for clarity along the fraught path from identifying to measuring harms. Looking forward, we identify …

  • Policy Challenges in Mapping Internet Interdomain Congestion

    Open Accesskc claffy, David D Clark et al.ARTICLEJournal of Information Policy2020References: 1

    Interconnection links connecting broadband access providers with their peers, transit providers and major content providers, are a potential point of discriminatory treatment and impairment of user experience. However, adequate data to shed light on this situation is lacking, and different actors can put forward opportunistic interpretations of data to support their points of view. In this article, we introduce a topology-aware model of interconn…

  • Whither the Public Internet

    Open AccessWilliam Lehr, David D Clark et al.ARTICLEJournal of Information Policy2019References: 1

    This article addresses the question of what should be meant by the phrase the Internet, or equivalently, the public Internet. Since its origins in the 1960s, the Internet has changed significantly in terms of the networks and technologies, services that are supported, and industry players who participate in the Internet ecosystem, growing in global economic and social importance. This article discusses the changing role of the network operators a…

  • Adding Enhanced Services to the Internet

    Open Accesskc claffy, David D ClarkARTICLEJournal of Information Policy2016

    We revisit thirty-five years of history related to the design of Quality of Service (QoS) on the Internet, hoping to offer some clarity to current debates around service differentiation. We describe the continual failure to get QoS capabilities deployed on the public Internet, including the technical challenges of the 1980s and 1990s, the business challenges of the 1990s and 2000s, and recent regulatory challenges. In short, while the standards c…

  • The Contingent Internet

    David D ClarkARTICLEDaedalus2016Cited by: 3

    The Internet is so omnipresent and pervasive that its form may seem an inevitability. It is hard to imagine a “different” Internet, but the character of the Internet as we experience it today is, in fact, contingent on key decisions made in the past by its designers, those who have invested in it, and those who have regulated it. With different choices, we might have a very different Internet today. This paper uses past choices made during the em…

  • Platform Models for Sustainable Internet Regulation

    Open Accesskc claffy, David D ClarkARTICLEJournal of Information Policy2014Cited by: 1

    Regulators are confronted with the fact that with the rapid pace of change and innovation on the Internet, regulatory initiatives are often rendered irrelevant almost as soon as they are proposed. How can regulators craft a durable approach that can remain relevant in this fast-changing environment? The authors propose a framework of platforms that Internet Service Providers may deploy, and discuss the regulatory implications for each type of pla…

  • Measuring Performance when Broadband is the New PSTN

    Open AccessWilliam Lehr, Steven Bauer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Information Policy2013Cited by: 1References: 2

    The transition of telecommunications services from the old Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) to the broadband Internet does not alleviate the needs of consumers for basic services. The Internet universe, however, is mostly unregulated. As broadband becomes the new PSTN, how do we ensure that services are delivered appropriately, and how can this be measured? Doctors Lehr, Bauer, and Clark propose an updated set of measurements and address …

  • The Medieval Peasant House — Towards a New Paradigm

    D A Clark, David D ClarkARTICLEVernacular Architecture2013Cited by: 1References: 2

    The medieval peasant house has always featured strongly in vernacular architecture studies. This paper focuses on the buildings of those of lower social status, and their survival opens a window on a world of lifestyles that was at one time thought to be completely lost. A great deal of work has been done — on documentary sources, archaeological sites and standing buildings — which has shown that the life of the medieval peasant was lived in a de…
