I am talking about volunteers running the internet. 1. a fair amount of content is provided for no money like blogs that don't make money 2. open source software 3. voluntary organisations like FreeNets. 4. more in the future Peter Timusk, B.Math statistics (2002), B.A. legal studies (2006) Carleton University Systems Science Graduate student, University of Ottawa (2006-2007). just trying to stay linear.

Has anyone researched internet governance as voluntary?
I have one undergrad paper on this. I think I am original on this but would appreciate any findings by others.
also are there any statistics on this?
you've got two different topics here, imho - one in the subject, one in the body.
are you talking about volunteers RUNNING the internet, or the premise that internet networks submit voluntarily to governance by ICANN et al?
both tracks of ideas have some support, but are quite different topics...
