Re: Launch of The Internet Ecosystem Book
by Peter Anderson 09 Feb '26

09 Feb '26

*(Apologies for cross-posting)* As a researcher, I have never come across a highly intensive and inclusive book like "The Internet Ecosystem". The book englobes the whole Internet Ecosystem with the correct information compared to misleading information from blogs/wikipedia on the Internet. This book was reviewed by Vint Cerf. I have just completed the reading, I will highly recommend it and it is nice to have a copy to keep for reference. Professor Peter Anderson Head of Research ------------------------------ *From:* Nikesh B.

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. *Get Your Copy* *The Internet Ecosystem* is now available: https://payhip.com/b/hfvYg Thank you, Best Regards, Nikesh B.

Anna Maria Mandalari for co-chair
by Mandalari, Anna Maria 22 Apr '25

22 Apr '25

Dear all, Many of you have seen my presentations or engaged with me over the years within the RIPE community and beyond, discussing IoT privacy, security, and measurement challenges. I would like to formally express my interest in serving as Co-Chair of the IoT Working Group. I am currently Assistant Professor in Communications & Networking at University College London (UCL), where I also serve as Director of the MSc in Internet Engineering and Telecommunications. I am an Honorary Research Fellow at Imperial College London and Visiting Professor at Yokohama National University. My research spans privacy, security, Internet measurement for IoT ecosystems, and I am also a member of the Executive Steering Board of the IoT Security Foundation. Over the last decade, my work has focused on the intersection of IoT, privacy, and cybersecurity. I have developed tools like COPSEC, IoTrim, and ReplIoT to address privacy and security challenges in IoT environments, aligning closely with regulatory initiatives such as the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). I have collaborated with industry and regulators across the UK, EU, and Japan, leading projects on IoT security certification, adaptive privacy-preserving mechanisms, and privacy and security risk assessment. I have been an active member of the RIPE IoT Working Group, contributing with presentations, participation in discussions, and engaging with the community to bridge the gap between academic research, operational practice, and standardization efforts. Added Value as Co-Chair I believe I bring a unique profile that combines: * Deep academic expertise in IoT privacy, security, and Internet measurements; * Operational and testing insights through tool development and collaboration with industry partners; * Strong connections within cybersecurity and IoT standardization communities (IoTSF, IETF BMWG); * Experience with public engagement, creating awareness of IoT risks and best practices. Vision as Co-Chair As Co-Chair, I would like to: * Strengthen the dialogue between academia, industry, and policy makers within the WG; * Support initiatives around IoT security benchmarking, testing methodologies, and best practices dissemination; * Foster new contributions from diverse backgrounds and geographical areas; * Ensure continuity with the WG’s past work while driving new efforts aligned with emerging regulations and industry needs. I would be honored to contribute my expertise and energy to help the IoT WG continue its valuable mission. I look forward to the opportunity to support and serve the community. Best regards, Anna — Dr Anna Maria Mandalari Assistant Professor Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering - University College London Honorary Research Fellow ISST - Imperial College London https://annamandalari.com/
