Keynote Speaker
We're pleased to annouce that
Andrew Odlyzko will be the keynote speaker at IPTComm
2009.
Title: Network evolution, network economics, and
network innovation
Abstract
Technology is leading to a convergence of wireline and
wireless communication, opening up vast new possibilities
for novel services. The extent to which this potential
will be realized will depend on technical innovation as
well as on the economics and regulation of the industry.
Unfortunately there are many false dogmas that are
hobbling progress and will need to be overcome.
Short Bio
Andrew Odlyzko is engaged in a variety of projects, from
mathematics to security and Internet traffic monitoring.
His main task currently is to write a book that compares
the Internet bubble to the British Railway Mania of the
1840s, and explores the implications for future of
technology diffusion.
He has written technical papers in many areas of
mathematics, communication, and computing. He has also
done extensive research in electronic publishing,
electronic commerce, and economics of data networks, and
may be known best for an early debunking of the myth of
Internet traffic doubling every three or four months and
for demonstrating that connectivity has traditionally
mattered much more for society than content.
