(or: An Internet and Innovation Reading List for You<\/strong>.)<\/p>\n

Recently I’ve been ginning up a reading list about the title given in this blog post, and I wondered if I could try to crowdsource some of this<\/strong> bad boy. If you had a semester and you wanted a graduate-level someone to learn all of the basics and some of the more advanced and interesting stuff about the broad topic “the Internet and innovation,” what would you tell them to read?<\/p>\n

My interest here is public policy<\/strong> and not so much on other areas (economics, law — though they’re in here). \u00a0I focus a lot on architecture. \u00a0I left out most of the network neutrality debate because it is so often NOT presented in innovation terms. \u00a0It is hard to assign something that focuses only on the innovation component, although certainly it is an important issue. If you have something, let me know!<\/p>\n

What did I leave out? \u00a0I’d welcome your thoughts.<\/p>\n
