I’ve never been ‘internet researcher’ but I used to be ‘global head of commercial internet strategy’ when I was at (at the time) the worlds biggest ‘isp’. Previous to that I was at British Telecommunications who have a large research facility at Martlesham Heath in the UK and there I’m sure there were entire departments called internet research and room-on-room of people called internet researchers – the kinds of stuff done in the labs ranged from basic research into things like protocols (resulting in RFCs etc) all the way up to commercial applications of technology, and, pause – futurology, shudder. BT labs home page is here: http://www.labs.bt.com, I’m sure their PR people would be happy to help if you were interested in job titles and stuff there.

hi all,
just a question for the groups members - hopefully some may wish to reply.
The "modern" internet has now been going for about 10 years. As a result we have many new professions... we have web designers, programmers and a host of specialist IT positions.
Does anyone in here work full time in a position that is called "Internet Researcher" or that one could take to be, from the job responsibilities, to be a full time internet researcher? Does anyone know of another person who has the above role? I am particularly interested to know if anyone works for a company in such a role.
thanks in advance for your time,
regards
Eero Tarik Adelaide
