[SIGCIS-Members] Query: Legal history of the internet / Internet in Germany

[Valérie Schafer]

Dear Janet Abbate, 

Perhaps this book by Lyombe Eko could be of interest: 
American Exceptionalism, the French Exception, and Digital Media Law 
https://rowman.com/ISBN/9780739181126

where I found for example the memory of the French Mitterrand/Gübler affair in 1996. 

But A. Peukert won't find about Germany in this book. 

Best regards
Valérie Schafer

> I'm forwarding a query about the history of Internet law and regulation. Most of what I'm familiar with is about standards, ICANN and IANA, and global governance issues; I sent him some references for Mueller and DeNardis. I don't know anything about the Internet in Germany. Suggestions?

>> Dear Professor Abbate,
>>  
>> I am teaching IP law at Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main/Germany, and I read with great interest your book “Inventing the Internet”. I am currently undertaking a search with regard to the legal history of the internet, that is to say the regulations that governed the evolution of the internet in the U.S. and other countries, in particular Germany. Aside of your book, I only came across few articles that partly address some issues, in particular the history of ICANN (Weinberg, 2000) and the privatization of the internet backbone network (Kesan and Shah, 2001). I did not find, however, an in-depth legal-historical study of one (let alone all) major steps in the evolution of the internet until the end of the 1990ies.
>>  
>> Are you aware of such a study? Do you know someone who is dealing with these questions?
>>  
>> Kind regards
>> Alexander Peukert
