Can the Internet Survive?Internet Security, Technology and Governance: Problems and Solutions

 

An Oxford Internet Institute (OII) Symposium

Lecture Theatre 7, Sainsbury Building

London Business School

11 October 2004 (10am to 4pm)

 

Organised by

 

Bill Dutton, Oxford Internet Institute, in collaboration with

Leonard Waverman, ESRC e-Society Programme and London Business School

Michael Earl, Templeton College, Oxford University

Programme

The phenomenal worldwide popularity and growth of the Internet and Web is under threat from many directions, globally and locally: spam, viruses, denial-of-service-attacks, pornography, paedophile soliciting, fraud and government monitoring and censorship. These threats raise many questions of vital social and economic significance, such as:

·          Will the Internet’s value be undermined – and its survival endangered?

·          What can be done technically, such as in the area of security?

·          What can users, households, Internet service providers and industry do?

·          Are policy responses required, such as Internet governance and regulation?

·          Will the next Internet protocol (IPV6) and other technical advances help?

·          Or will the Net become clogged up until there is an e-traffic gridlock?

The OII Symposium: Aims and Speakers

The aim of this event is to have an interactive dialogue between distinguished panels of speakers and other participants in order to identify problems and solutions raised by the kinds of questions outlined above.
