Abstract

Internet network operates by combining common and non market technology and resources on one hand and private and marketable resources on the other hand. Internet protocol addresses and connection protocols are historically non market resources but relationships between networks involve payments and domain names are traded on a market that is becoming increasingly active. This article analyzes the process of commoditization of some components of the Internet network and anticipates the consequences of this important evolution. We show first that the commoditization of addresses results from a temporary scarcity and that this evolution can be dangerous for the stability of the network. Secondly, we examine the consequences of liberalization of the creation of new top level domain names on the first and second market of this resource.
