Internet has a history of more than 40 years and has witnessed a long 
range of incremental and radical innovations. In the introductory part 
of the course, a historical perspective will be provided in order to 
understand the different phases of the developments of Internet and path 
dependent structures affecting Internet developments. Also, the course 
will provide an insight into Internet developments on an international 
scale comprising not only the economically richer as well as poorer 
countries. Moreover, the course will examine the latest and prospective 
developments of Internet including technology and market aspects such as 
the conversion to IPv6, Information Centric Networking, Content 
Distribution Networks, and the relationships between telecommunication 
infrastructures and Internet overlays.

The course is addressed to PhD students from social as well as technical 
sciences. It is an inter-disciplinary course examining techno-political 
as well as techno-economic elements of Internet developments. The course 
is addressed to PhD students studying Internet developments as well as 
students in other fields of study where Internet plays an 
infrastructural role seeking an insight into the structural working 
mechanisms of Internet.
