Dear Colleague,
I am writing for two reasons. First, to announce a call for proposals for Summer 2006 grants by the NET Institute, http://www.NETinst.org . For a fourth year, the NET Institute will fund a number of scientific research projects in the areas of network industries, including telecommunications, wired and wireless networks, "virtual networks," electronic commerce, and the Internet. Proposed research may be either theoretical or empirical, and may also analyze issues of public policy. The deadline for proposal submissions is May 25, 2006. Details on the requirements are at http://www.netinst.org/call_for_proposals_2006.htm . Please distribute this information to researchers who may be interested to get funding for their research in these subjects.
Second, I want to remind you of the third annual NET Institute conference on network economics at the Stern School of Business on April 21, 2006. Please see the conference outline at http://www.NETinst.org/2006_conference.htm and RSVP to Nicole McDermet mailto:nmcderme@stern.nyu.edu .
The Networks, Electronic Commerce and Telecommunications Institute (NET Institute) is a non-profit institution devoted to research on network industries, telecommunications, the Internet, "virtual networks" comprised of computers that share the same technical standard or operating system, electronic commerce, and on network issues in general. The NET Institute functions as a world-wide focal point for research, open exchange and dissemination of ideas in these areas. For more information see http://www.NETinst.org/ .
