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.
