“Industrial Legislatures”: Consensus Standardization in the Second and Third Industrial Revolutions
研究AT&T电话网、互联网、数字蜂窝网和万维网四个通信网络的标准化历史，揭示工程师如何取代管理者成为标准制定者，并形成第三次工业革命的技术与意识形态基础设施。
My dissertation is a study of standardization in four communications networks: AT&T's monopoly telephone network, the Internet, digital cellular telephone networks, and the World Wide Web. A history of these networks that highlights standardization shows how engineers in industry committees replaced managers in monopoly hierarchies as the stewards of standards for communication networks. By the end of the twentieth century, the new networks—and the new institutions devised to sustain the standardization process—formed the technological and ideological infrastructure of the Third Industrial Revolution.
