New Paper from Odlyzko
Don’t have time to comment right now, but here’s a new paper (via Politech) from the always fascinating Andrew Odlyzko. It’s entitled “Pricing and Architecture of the Internet: Historical Perspectives from Telecommunications and Transportation.” The basic theme: price discrimination hasn’t happened in telecom, but it has in transportation; price discrim doesn’t fit with Internet’s e2e architecture, but there are some economic arguments in favor of it; incentives to price discriminate will continue to rise, threatening e2e, but there is reason to believe that e2e will survive.
