  • Hacking the Master Switch? the Role of Infrastructure in Google's
    Hacking the Master Switch? The Role of Infrastructure in Google’s Network Neutrality Strategy in the 2000s by John Harris Stevenson A thesis submitteD in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by John Harris Stevenson 2017 Hacking the Master Switch? The Role of Infrastructure in Google’s Network Neutrality Strategy in the 2000s John Harris Stevenson Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2017 Abstract During most of the decade of the 2000s, global Internet company Google Inc. was one of the most prominent public champions of the notion of network neutrality, the network design principle conceived by Tim Wu that all Internet traffic should be treated equally by network operators. However, in 2010, following a series of joint policy statements on network neutrality with telecommunications giant Verizon, Google fell nearly silent on the issue, despite Wu arguing that a neutral Internet was vital to Google’s survival. During this period, Google engaged in a massive expansion of its services and technical infrastructure. My research examines the influence of Google’s systems and service offerings on the company’s approach to network neutrality policy making. Drawing on documentary evidence and network analysis data, I identify Google’s global proprietary networks and server locations worldwide, including over 1500 Google edge caching servers located at Internet service providers. ii I argue that the affordances provided by its systems allowed Google to mitigate potential retail and transit ISP gatekeeping. Drawing on the work of Latour and Callon in Actor– network theory, I posit the existence of at least one actor-network formed among Google and ISPs, centred on an interest in the utility of Google’s edge caching servers and the success of the Android operating system.

In July, we published an initial report relating to broadband services delivered over fixed networks. This report and associated material published on Ofcom‟s website constitutes the remainder of the first report. 1.2 The report considers the coverage, capacity and resilience of the main public networks and services available in the UK, which includes fixed line and mobile telephony and broadband, digital radio and digital terrestrial TV. We have considered these from both a UK wide perspective and at the level of county / unitary authority. 1.3 The data we have collected from communications providers have highlighted a number of interesting findings. Network coverage 1.4 Broadband is now available on nearly every copper telephone line in the UK, however 14% of residential broadband connections are currently operating below the 2Mbit/s speed that government wishes to make available to virtually all homes by 2015.

Any articles of interest should be sent to: Mark Ashworth [email protected] or Claire Horne [email protected] . Company Update A belated Happy New Year to you all. As reported in the last newsletter, turnover for 2017 was down on 2016 due to the larger projects we had secured at the start of last year, starting slower than we would have liked. The good news is that we have the best forward order book we have ever had albeit over a longer period than normal. We usually sit around £12/16 Million to be completed over a ten month period but we currently have £50+ Million to be completed over the next 30 months. As always, our focus is continuous improvement in all aspects of the business from Health, safety and Environment, to the finish of the installations we produce. We expect to see Building Information Modelling, BIM come to the forefront during this year. It has been the topic of discussion for some time now and as a business we are well placed to meet the challenge BIM will bring and look forward to the benefits it can deliver. Thanks to all for your input and we look forward to a strong performance in 2018.
