该研究从技术中介市场的角度解释了互联网服务提供商的地理分布和互联网服务提供商产品线的扩展。参与技术中介的公司利用一般技术机会与特定时间特定地点特定用户需求之间的差距。如果经济机会稍纵即逝，那么企业也是如此。如果经济机会经常更新，那么企业就可以成长并适应利用它们。技术中介的概念有助于我们理解伴随互联网接入技术商业化的商业行为。
The study interprets the geographic diffusion of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and the expansion of ISPs’ product lines in terms of the market for technological mediation. A firm involved in technology mediation takes advantage of gaps between general technological opportunities and particular user needs in specific places at particular times. If the economic opportunities are fleeting, then so too is the business. If the economic opportunities are renewed frequently, then the business can grow and adapt to take advantage of them. The concept of technological mediation helps us understand business behavior accompanying the commercialization of internet access technology.
