1. Internet Users in the World

​

2010. : 2 billion Internet users

passing the tipping point of 25%

​

2020. : 5 billion Internet users

most of people in the world

2. Internet as Global Social Infrastructure

• What kinds of the social infrastructure is the Internet

being developed?

​

• Example: Transportation

- Train: Good social infrastructure

- Car: Need to avoid USA phenomena

​

4. Engineering Systems

• All engineering systems go through periodic major changes.

- Road:

unpaved 🡪 paved 🡪 freeway

- Train:

steam engine 🡪 electric 🡪 high speed

- Phone

manual 🡪 automatic 🡪 mobile 🡪 smart

- Television

Black&White 🡪Color 🡪High Definition

• Is it time for the Internet go through the major change?

- Future Internet research is challenging now

​

5. Walled Garden?

• Facebook with ~1 billion users
• Broadband Services in Japan(NTT), Korea(KT),...

12

6. Major Applications

13

7. Data Explosion

• Video Traffic

- TV through Internet as primary media?

​

• Internet of Things(IoT)

- Machine as the Internet user

14

8. Fundamental Studies

• May need fundamental studies on the Internet

(in addition to Computer Science) such as

- Data Science

- Web Science

- Network Science

15

9. Problems

• Global

- Cyber Attack and Cyber Terrorism

- Cyber Warfare

​

• Personal

- Privacy

- Addiction

16

10. Internet Governance

• Current Stakeholders on Internet Governance

- USA Federal Government(DoC,...)

- ICANN and NRO

- Standardization(IETF, ITU, ISO,...)

- Internet Governance Forum

​

• What Internet governance model are we looking for?

17

11. Toward Sustainable Internet

• It may be time to think of the long term perspective of

the Internet as critical global infrastructure.

​

• Future Internet development may address

- for all people in the world, not just current users(First

Billions), and

- harmonization with the human society and the global

environment

18

12. Toward Sustainable Internet(Continued)

We may call the emerging global infrastructure based on

the Internet as

​

- Sustainable Internet: The Internet we can sustain and

we want to sustain,

- Humane Internet: The human-centered Internet, which

is harmonized with the human society,

or

- Ecological Internet: The Internet governance based on

consensus like ecological democracy

19

13. Remark

• It is only the beginning of the Internet revolution now.
• Where are we heading?
• Are we making the mistakes of other global

infrastructures such as automobile, nuclear technology,..?

• Are we having good global coordination now?
• Open data and sources are changing the world.
