The design and deployment of urban broadband infrastructures inscribe particular imaginations of Internet access onto city streets. The different manifestations and locations of these networks, their uses, and access points often expose material excesses of urban broadband networks, as well as failures of Internet service providers, urban planners, and public officials to imagine the diverse ways that people incorporate Internet connection into their everyday lives. We approach the study of urban broadband networks through the juxtaposition of invisible networks that are buried under the streets and have always been “turned off” (dark fiber) versus hypervisible that are “turned on” and prominently displayed on city streets (LinkNYC). In our analysis of these two case studies, we critique themes of visibility and invisibility as indexes of power and access. Our findings are meant to provide a critical analysis of urban technology policy as well as theories of infrastructure, visibility, and access.

Shared Networks

This research paper examines the emergence of shared networks in Tseltal and Zapoteco communities in Chiapas and Oaxaca (Mexico): internet first mile signal-sharing practices that articulate interconnection infrastructure and coexistence values to extend the internet to areas where the services of existing larger internet service providers are unsatisfactory or unavailable. In the case studies analyzed, indigenous people become internet codesigners by infrastructuring for their own local networks and interconnecting to the global internet. The paper argues that a hybrid materializes at the level of network interconnection when comunalidad, or the way of these communities, supported by unlicensed frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum, towers, radio antennas, houses rooftops, routers, and cables meet the values of the internet service providers and their policies. Shared networks are a result of what these arrangements both enact and constrain, and the evidence of vivid struggles of Latin-centric indigenous networks towards a pluriversal internet.

Virtual Shopping

Nowadays, smart devices have grown exponentially, so they have become a necessity rather than a luxury, therefore staying connected to the Internet has facilitated people to explore national and international news, make payments for services public, virtual shopping, scheduling medical appointments, among others. Now all this demand increases every day at excessive levels and adding the robust applications that are currently being developed and launched on the market. Regarding this, it is known that currently, the internet service providers of the municipality of Soledad Atlántico do not have the physical infrastructure to maintain the availability of the service. This is where the project design of the Wi-Fi-Offloading solution to extend the coverage and the transmission of data from the cellular network, through the wireless network in the Muvdi park of the Municipality of Soledad Atlántico, is carried out with the aim of providing a solution and alternative so that the internet connection service remains available without import the data network to which you have access. The research methodology used for the development of the project is descriptive. The research design is qualitative, transactional, and non-experimental. At this moment, it is in a descriptive stage, carrying out tests, and then moving on to the applied stage.

In this paper, we investigate the impacts of user behaviour – user loyalty in particular – on pricing strategies of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) for a profitable yet sustainable Internet access marketplace. First, we propose a realistic user loyalty model, the price difference dependent loyalty model, which is based on empirical evidences from ISPs in different countries in the world. Next, we apply the loyalty model in gametheoretical analyses where optimal Internet access pricing strategies are expressed. Finally, we present the impacts of user loyalty on the prices and profits of ISPs in different scenarios based on simulation results

Abstract Since Regulation (EU) 2015/2120 of the European Parliament and of the Council came into force, Internet service providers have to fulfill various additional requirements in order to guarantee access to the open internet and provide transparent information to the end-users. Of the utmost importance is to ensure achievable, meaningful and comparable results of the internet quality indicators, particularly upload and download speed values. Regulation (EU) 2015/2120 stipulates that specific speeds should be indicated in the contracts: for fixed internet access service those are maximum, minimum, normally available and advertised speed and for mobile internet access service – estimated maximum and advertised speed. However, there are no common methods put in place to calculate required speed indicators that can lead to a large amount of noncomparable and unreviewable information and create difficulties for internet providers to describe quality indicators. Within the framework of the present research, a mathematical estimation algorithm has been elaborated and applied in order to ensure that required quality parameters are represented objectively and that they are intercomparable among different internet service providers. Unified calculation principle would foster end-user awareness of the meaning of quality indicators and also of the quality of received internet services. It would also facilitate the indication of the required information for internet service providers.

Today the internet is inseparable in the life of modern society. For this reason, fast and reliable internet is very important. To achieve this, on the internet there are various kinds of technologies that make it very reliable. One of the technologies used in the internet is the Multihoming Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). This BGP technology allows every router on the internet to be connected and exchange routing information needed on the internet. BGP Multihoming allows two or more Autonomous Systems (AS) to connect and exchange routing information without any routing information being wrong. So if there is one AS experiencing interference then it will not significantly affect the other AS. That is because there are two or more pathways that can be traversed to get to the destination AS.

Many internet service providers are not compliant to pay frequency fees to the state so that the Ministry of Communication and Informatics closes PT. Internux which is a subsidiary of PT. First Media is a banned in Lippo Group. The closure resulted in Bolt and Bolt Home consumers not getting internet access so that problems arose 1. How to protect consumer rights for Bolt and Bolt Home internet service customers PT. Internux after revocation of permission by Kominfo? 2. What is the responsibility of the business actor for consumers of Bolt and Bolt Home internet service customers? The method used is the normative legal method. Bolt and Bolt Home consumers only get preventive protection by deactivating top up payment services in order to avoid greater losses for consumers, while repressive protection is not found in this case. The form of responsibility of PT. Internux to consumers based on the provisions of Article 19 Paragraphs (1) and (2) must provide compensation equivalent to the price of the quota package in accordance with the initial agreement agreed with the refund mechanism and provide diversion offer services to other providers. The Ministry of Communication and Information must conduct strict supervision of internet service companies and for consumers to be selective and smart in choosing internet service company providers.

Online Game users continue to grow from year to year and therefore internet service providers (ISPs) must provide stable and fast internet quality. The Bandwidth requirements of online Games must be supported by internet networks that support the speed and stability of the internet connection. When using online Games sometimes the connection is bad, so it makes a condition called lagging. Then make the online Game avatars do not move or the traffic is stuck. This makes online Game players lose to enemies because, when the online Game avatar is not moving it will be easy for the enemy to shoot dead. Based on this, an analysis of the research needs of online Game Bandwidth speed needs to be done so, that internet service providers (ISPs) can divide how much speed or Bandwidth to the Game needs so, that online Game users feel comfortable, safe without feeling any slow or lagging conditions. This study tested by 3 Games, such as Free fire, Mobile Legends, and Pubg mobile. Each Game uses graphics and image quality which is being tested for 10 minutes. The results of this study shows that all of the three Games requires a stable internet connection for Uploading and Downloading.
