--And Communications for All
In . . . And Communications for All, 16 leading communications policy scholars present a comprehensive telecommunications policy agenda for the new federal administration. This agenda emphasizes the potential of information technologies to improve democratic discourse, social responsibility, and the quality of life along with the means by which it can be made available to all Americans. Schejter has assembled an analysis of the reasons for the failure of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, and offers an international benchmark for the future of telecommunications. Addressing a range of topics, including network neutrality, rural connectivity, media ownership, minority ownership, spectrum policy, universal broadband policy, and media for children, it articulates a comprehensive vision for the United States as a twenty-first-century information society that is both internally inclusive and globally competitive.
Interorganisational Standards
Standards play crucial roles in many different aspects of today’s economy. They can define meanings of semantics, product interfaces, process steps, or performance levels. Interorganisational standards are specifications that define business-related semantics and processes, which are made accessible to other organisations’ information systems. While modular organisation forms such as supply chain networks demand such standards for higher flexibility, XML-based Web Services offer a relatively new technological platform to develop such standards. The development of comprehensive interorganisational standards, however, is far from being completed. This book thus answers the questions, how interorganisational standards are developed and how different actors should get involved in it. The author uses actor-network theory to conduct two in-depth case studies on ebXML and RosettaNet. While researchers will find new explanations for the development of interorganisational standards, managers and executives will benefit from the strategic implications this book discusses.
Rethinking European Media and Communications Policy
How can policy keep up with the developments in a converging information society? How can all interests be taken into account when the value chains are being transformed? Addressing these questions, this title states that it is necessary to fundamentally reconsider the legal and policy frameworks

Digital Development in Korea
This book explores the role of digital information and communications technology in South Korea’s development, starting with and building upon the crucial developments of the 1980s. Its perspective draws on the information society concept and on a conceptual model of strategic restructuring of telecommunications. It also draws on firsthand experience in formulating and implementing policies. The analysis identifies aspects of the Korean experience from which developing countries around the world might benefit. Oh and Larson describe the revolutionary developments of the 1980s including the TDX electronic switching system, a major surge forward in semiconductors, the start of privatization ...
Transnational Contexts of Development History, Sociality, and Society of Play
This book examines the historical background of game development, offline and online gamer interactions, and presents a method to study the health impacts of digital games in East Asia. Focusing on examinations of how video games shape external interactions with the world as well as internal spaces, Lee and Pulos' volume brings together a range of approaches and regions to understand the impact of video games in East Asia and beyond. Contributions range from assessments of Nintendo's lasting technological impact in Japan and globally to analyses of mobile social gaming among teenage girls in Korea, with qualitative and quantitative methodologies set in contact with one another to offer a full spectrum of perspectives on video gaming and its profound cultural impact.
Spotify Teardown
An innovative investigation of the inner workings of Spotify that traces the transformation of audio files into streamed experience. Spotify provides a streaming service that has been welcomed as disrupting the world of music. Yet such disruption always comes at a price. Spotify Teardown contests the tired claim that digital culture thrives on disruption. Borrowing the notion of “teardown” from reverse-engineering processes, in this book a team of five researchers have playfully disassembled Spotify's product and the way it is commonly understood. Spotify has been hailed as the solution to illicit downloading, but it began as a partly illicit enterprise that grew out of the Swedish file-...

Zwischenbetriebliche Anwendungsintegration
Die Integration von Anwendungssystemen wird in Wissenschaft und Praxis seit geraumer Zeit diskutiert. Fraglich ist allerdings, ob die bisherigen Ergebnisse auf Unternehmensnetzwerke übertragbar sind, da bei der Auftragserstellung in Netzwerken oft keine klassischen Geschäftsprozesse vorliegen. Auf der Basis des „Method Engineering“ untersucht Florian Stadlbauer das Integrationsvorgehen in der Netzwerkpraxis anhand von vier Fallstudien. Er identifiziert netzwerkspezifische Integrationsanforderungen und vergleicht sie mit bestehenden Integrationsmethoden. Auf dieser Grundlage entwickelt er einen eigenen Methodenansatz, der mittels detailliert beschriebener Techniken die Identifizierung netzwerkspezifischer Integrationsbereiche sowie deren Evaluation, Planung und wirtschaftliche Bewertung unterstützt. Anhaltspunkte für eine geeignete Projektorganisation, für die erforderlichen Ergebnisdokumente und für Einsatzmöglichkeiten der entwickelten Integrationsmethode in der Netzwerkpraxis runden die Arbeit ab.
