CAIDA's Internet policy research tries to address the issues of economics, ownership, and trust which create obstacles to progress on most of the top problems of the Internet.
COMMONS
CAIDA proposes an experiment: the Cooperative Measurement and Modeling of Open Networked Systems (COMMONS) project, which aims to simultaneously solve three acute and growing problems facing the Internet: a self-reported financial crisis in the Internet infrastructure provider industry; a data acquisition crisis which has severely stunted the field of network science; and a struggle for survival within emerging community and municipal networks.
In 2007, a paper enttiled The (un)Economic Internet? was published in IEEE's Internet Computing, discussing the impact of economic and policy issues to the Internet as critical infrastructure.
Geopolitical
The worldwide distribution of Internet resources and address space is highly non-uniform. With BGP Geopolitical Analysis, we present an analysis comparing five demographic measures against three measures of Internet resources, stratified by continent with substratification by country. IPv6 Geopolitical Analysis is also available covering distribution of IPv6 addresses.
