Remarkable Relation

The paper presents results of studies among computer users, demonstrating a remarkable relation between history of computer use (computer experience) and readiness to access Internet resources (Internet access). The observed relation, referred to as ‘Internet entry delay syndrome’, may be described as follows: the greater the user’s computer experience, the longer it takes him/her to decide on accessing Internet and using it on a regular basis. The delay is markedly shorter for inexperienced computer users. The results of the study can be invaluable for Internet Service Providers (ISPs), allowing for more precise design of network infrastructure, as well as for local administration authorities striving to implement the policy of information society through development of information structures and services and improving Internet access on local and regional scale.

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.

International Obligation

Within the chapter, the author discusses the possibility of introducing an international due diligence standard for Internet Service Providers (ISPs). She analyzes the due diligence standard in public international law as the common element of two accountability regimes binding upon states: the regime of state responsibility for the breach of an international obligation and international risk-liability for transboundary harm. They are both aimed at preventing transboundary harm originating from state territory. Such harm may presently be inflicted also with the use of cross-border electronic networks. Since the Internet is considered a global resource, the analysis provided is based upon international environmental law doctrine with its detailed due diligence standard and principle of prevention. The author goes on to propose their application to cyber-security. The idea argued within the chapter is for the development of an international cyberspace-specific due diligence standard and possibly a liability mechanism, as based on the multistakeholder principle recognized within Internet governance. The author aims to answer the question of whether a due diligence standard for cyberspace may and if so ought to be introduced through particular obligations laid upon Internet Service Providers, in particular Critical Internet Resources operators and introduction of an international ISP liability fund.

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.

The Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) repeal of the net neutrality rules has implications for the consumers of program content found on broadband internet service providers (ISPs). Under the former rule, such providers cannot engage in discrimination by favoring some content over others or by using their broadband to speed up favored content or slow down less favored content (practices known as “throttling”). With the demise of net neutrality, ISPs have the power to control what viewers see and how they see it, with few resources to fight such decisions. One key programming category is sports. The end of net neutrality can have an adverse impact to sports streams, because of the high amounts of broadband space and the rapid consolidation between sports content providers and ISPs. This article discusses the background of the powers of the FCC, the history of the net neutrality rules, the FCC’s 2018 order repealing the rules, and the legal and political reactions to it. It concludes by raising a number of hypothetical situations where the lack of net neutrality can have an adverse impact for consumers of sports material.

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.

The computer networks is growing rapidly along with the increasing of computer's users. The large number of computers or hosts connected in a network will make it difficult to manage, so it needs a unique identity on each host connected to a computer network. The IP address technology is a solution to overcome the complexity of local and global computer networks. The IPv4 is the IP addressing technology for every host connected in a network, but the growth of computer users hence the availability of IPv4 address becomes very limited, so the IPv6 technology is developed. To avoid IP address conflicts around the world, the IP address allocation and distribution blocks for each Internet service providers worldwide is arranged by RFC (Request for Comments) standards. This journal describes the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses technology implementation on the host connected in a computer network. It is expected that with this journal both IP addresses generation can be applied in a computer network appropriately.Keywords:ip address, ipv4, ipv6
