理想情况下，这些不同治理选项之间的选择将基于对其静态和动态效率影响的详细评估。由于下一代网络中的多种动态交互使问题变得棘手并无法对可能的结果进行分析确定，因此系统评估变得复杂。 This paper explores a different approach, the use of scenario thinking and simulation models to develop a better understanding of the dynamic effects of different policy approaches.下一节将介绍下一代网络中关键交互的程式化模型以及基于缺乏任何特定网络中立性法规的参考场景。它特别关注平台、应用程序和服务层利益相关者的创新激励。后续部分探讨替代网络中立制度将如何改变利益相关者的激励以及与参考场景相比整个系统的演变。网络中立政策动态的完整模拟关键取决于系统各层之间相互作用的强度。必须开展额外的工作来将可能的参数范围缩小到更易于管理的范围。
Ideally, a choice between these different governance options would be based on a detailed evaluation of their static and dynamic efficiency implications. A systematic assessment is complicated by the fact that the multiple dynamic interactions in next generation networks render the issues intractable and prohibit an analytical determination of likely outcomes. This paper explores a different approach, the use of scenario thinking and simulation models to develop a better understanding of the dynamic effects of different policy approaches. The next section presents a stylized model of key interactions in a next-generation network and a reference scenario based on the absence of any specific network neutrality regulations. It focuses in particular on the innovation incentives of the stakeholders at the platform and at the application and services layers.Subsequent sections explore how alternative network neutrality regimes would change the incentives of the stakeholders and the evolution of the overall system compared to the reference scenario. A full simulation of the dynamics of network neutrality policies is critically dependent on the strength of the interactions between the layers of the system. Additional work will have to be undertaken to narrow the range of possible parameters to a more manageable range.
