Today marks the first day of Internet Research 10.0 – Internet: Critical, the 10th annual conference of the Association of Internet Researchers (AoIR), an international association for scholars in any discipline in the field of Internet studies. Today’s keynote address features Siva Vaidhyanathan discussing The Googlization of Everything and the Theology of Google.
This year’s conference is taking place October 7-10, 2009 in Milwaukee, WI and is hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Information and Yale ISP alumnus Michael Zimmer, now a professor at the I-School.
AoIR member and ISP Executive Director Laura DeNardis is presenting a new paper “A Case Against Internet Address Markets.” This paper examines new ideas about address exchange markets as a mechanism to temporarily extend the life of the IPv4 address space. New market-based approach have great pragmatic appeal, but DeNardis envisions that this could create a longer term set of problems for the Internet’s technical architecture and Internet governance structures and have unintended social and economic consequences.
