*Subject:* Launch of The Internet Ecosystem Book
Dear Community,
I am thrilled to announce the launch of my book, *The Internet
Ecosystem* — a comprehensive exploration of the history, architecture,
governance, and future of the Internet.
This book distills decades of technological evolution — from ARPANET and
packet switching, to AI, Web3, quantum networks, and beyond — into a
clear, engaging narrative accessible to both technical and non-technical
readers
**
*What the Book Covers*
* *The Past:* How Cold War research, ARPANET, and packet switching
gave birth to the Internet we know today.
* *The Present:* The intricate roles of ISPs, backbone providers,
cloud infrastructure, AI, cybersecurity, and global governance
shaping our daily online experiences.
* *The Future:* Insights into 5G/6G, blockchain, immersive
technologies, quantum security, and the Internet in 2050.
With *49 detailed chapters*, the book provides a definitive yet
approachable reference for students, professionals, policymakers, and
curious readers alike.
My mission with /The Internet Ecosystem/ is to make the Internet’s
complexity understandable — showing not only *how* the Internet works,
but also *why* it matters and has become one of the most transformative
human inventions — while sparking dialogue on how we build a secure,
inclusive, and sustainable digital future.
In the 21st century, understanding the Internet is not optional — it’s
essential. Whether you’re a business leader, policymaker, educator,
student, or everyday Internet user, this book provides the context and
clarity you need to navigate the opportunities and challenges of our
connected world.

Hi friends,
The Education team[1] at the Wikimedia Foundation is happy to announce two
surveys in higher education. The first one is for university faculty to
investigate their perceptions of Wikipedia, and the second survey is for
affiliates to investigate affiliates’ perceptions and activities in higher
education.
You are kindly invited to participate in the affiliate survey
<https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eP7KAkbDMYDocu2> and also very
welcome to share the academia survey
<https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8BN5Dwp8sl1bkIm> to any
academia persons in your network. We appreciate your participation.
Deadline is 9th April 2022.
Additionally, we need help translating these two surveys. If you are able,
please help us translate it into any additional language. We especially
want to be able to share it in the major UN languages and as many smaller
languages as possible. We’ll announce new versions when we get
translations. It’s very easy to help with translations, all you have to do
is open the academic translation spreadsheet
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11ELOmNCyMK0HH9PMG7gT4uI2ey2F3-J9B_X…>and
