Models Throughout the History of the Internet," in _Peer-to-Peer:_Harnessing_the_Benefits_
_of_a_Disruptive_Technology,_ Andy Oram, ed. (Beijing and Cambridge, Mass: O'Reilly,
2001), 3-15 (describing how the original Internet was "fundamentally designed as a
peer-to-peer system" but became increasingly client/server oriented over time owing to
Web browser applications, firewalls, and other factors).

conducted an interesting study of the free-riding problem with p2p technologies. See

[8-33] Again, this is just relative. The claim is not that there is equal access to equally valu-
able data. Amazon.com is in a better position to market than tinybookseller.com. Like-
wise, it may well be that scale here makes all the difference. There have been suggestions
that these architectures may reduce competition. See Yannis Bakos and Erik Brynjolfs-
son, "Bundling and Competition on the Internet," _Marketing_Science,_ January 2000,
available at http://ecommerce.mit.edu/erik/bci-final.pdf (finding that "economies of
aggregation" for information goods could adversely affect competition). At this stage,
however, I don't think we know enough to say.
