The communications industry is being disrupted as intelligence and control — once centralized — shift to the edges of the network. This working group seeks to understand the business models and economics associated with these changes in network functionality, and has developed a methodology for systematically exploring the technology, business, and policy dynamics of new business models.
Research topics include:
- Social network services
- The future of television
- Digital music distribution
- The evolution of RFID networks
- VOIP
- Location-based services
- Core-Edge methodology & toolkit
