Good morning AoIR,
I am looking for up-to-date resources for understanding the infrastructure of the internet, including the role of mobile and telephone networks in that infrastructure.
As a starting point, I've looked at Janet Abbate's 'Inventing the Internet' (2000) and Kurose and Ross's 'Computer Networking' (2013). I tend to focus on the social/cultural aspects of the web, so this is a little outside my own area of focus, and I fear I may be missing some basics.
Any recommendations gratefully received!
