在这篇评论文章中，我将产业经济学置于解释互联网基础设施地理属性的中心，并将这种既定的分析模式应用于这些市场的独特成本结构和需求特征。我首先概述了互联网的起源，以及为什么互联网基础设施的经济地理在商业化之前是不清楚的。接下来的部分将分析互联网基础设施的四个重叠市场：拨号服务、骨干网、宽带和互联网基础设施服务的业务提供。结语部分总结了对推动这一广泛研究领域的几个关键问题的答案。互联网基础设施的经济地理肖恩·格林斯坦 _____________________________________________________________________________________
In this review article I place industrial economics at the center of the explanation for the geographic properties of Internet infrastructure, applying this established mode of analysis to the unique cost structures and demand characteristics of these markets. I begin with an overview of the origins of the Internet and why the economic geography of Internet infrastructure was unclear prior to commercialization. The next sections analyze four overlapping markets of Internet infrastructure: dial-up service, backbone, broadband, and business provision of Internet infrastructure services. The concluding section summarizes the answers to several key questions motivating this broad research area.
