The authors examine how digitalization affects infrastructures in telecommunications, transport, and energy, and how digital platforms establish themselves as a new network on top of and in addition to traditional ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplex concepts are introduced through short and colorful stories about the founders of the most popular platforms (Google, Facebook, Skype, Uber, etc.) and how they grew to positions of power, drawing parallels with century-old traditional network industries' monopoly power (AT\u0026amp;T, General Electric, etc.). The authors argue that these digital platforms strongly interfere with traditional infrastructures that are heavily regulated and provide essential services for society - meaning that digital platforms should be considered as a new and much more powerful type of infrastructure and will require regulation accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA global audience of policy makers, public authorities, consultants, lawyers, students, and academics, as well as anyone with an interest in these digital platforms, will find this book enlightening and essential reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJuan Montero\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Regulation at the Law School of UNED University, Madrid, Spain; part-time Professor at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy, in the Florence School of Regulation; and of counsel in MLAB.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatthias Finger is Professor Emeritus from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale in Lausanne, Switzerland (EPFL); part-time Professor at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy, where he directs the Florence School of Regulation's Transport Area; and Professor at the Faculty of Management at Istanbul Technical University (ITÜ). \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 286\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 9.7 x 6.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 05, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53376914817331,"sku":"9780367693053","price":109.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/T1JpdXX_n-9780367693053.webp?v=1779310495","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-rise-of-the-new-network-industries-regulating-digital-platforms-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
