1:1 with Andrew Odlyzko
In this podcast Prof. Andrew Odlyzko (University of Minnesota) & the internet lab discuss the tech dimension of internet regulation
📌Episode Highlights
⏲️[00:00] Intro
⏲️[01:51] Q1 - How do you interpret the relationship between users accessing more content and services online and the impact this may have on telcos?
⏲️[06:18] Q2 - What are the inherent dangers (if any) of Big Tech being requested to pay for the network of telcos?
⏲️[12:41] Q3 - Do you think it is appropriate to compare the contribution of Big Tech and telcos in infrastructure, as suggested by some?
⏲️[19:20] You have 1 minute to deliver a message to the powers that be in the EU on the 'fair contribution' discussion: make your case.

🌐 Prof. Andrew Odlyzko
Andrew Odlyzko is a Professor at the University of Minnesota. Before that, he spent more than half of his professional career in research at Bell Labs and AT&T Labs. After moving to Minnesota, he was the founding director of the Digital Technology Center, and has been head of the Minnesota Supercomputing Institute as well as an Assistant Vice President for Research. He has three patents and has written over one hundred and fifty technical papers on a variety of topics, such as cryptography and probability theory. He is a Fellow of the International Association for Cryptologic Research and the American Mathematical Society. He started his studies of the economics of the Internet at AT&T in the mid-1990s, and may be best known for his early debunking of the myth of Internet traffic doubling every one hundred days, and for his thesis that connectivity and not content is king. He has since broadened his studies to consider more general interactions of technology and society.
