Bilateral Contract with Industry: Participation in a CRE with Orange

Participant : Bruno Tuffin.

We are participating to a CRE (managed by Telecom Bretagne) with Orange on the strategies of Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) and their impact on the overall Internet economy and regulation. In this study, we focus on the CDN as an economic actor. The goals are 1) to analyze CDNs' caching strategies from an economic point of view, 2) to study the strategies of an integrated CDN actor, and 3) to study the impact of CDNs in the net neutrality debate.
