International Internet Regulation: A Technical Approach from Network Layers
Abstract
The study of international Internet regulation requires of the systematization of its regulations and organs from a perspective that exceeds the legal analysis. This article presents an analysis of these international regulations starting from the network layers framework, looking for relations between the technical structure of the Internet, composed by an infrastructure layer, a logical layer and a content layer; and its institutional and regulatory arrangement, all the above under the assumption that the technical and legal dimensions are closely interrelated, and checking for key institutions and regulations in each network layer. Besides, a layers separation theory is explored, as a framework capable to offer principles for a basic international Internet regulation.Keywords:
