“…In fact, although information markets are unquestionably different from "traditional" markets such as the auto or pharmaceutical industries, still they must respect competition law. The European Commission has clarified that information markets are subject to the basic rules of articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union 13 (Fietkiewicz and Lins, 2016).…”

Städte" bezeichnet. Die informationelle Urbanistik umfasst alle Aspekte von Information und (implizitem wie explizitem) Wissen in Hinblick auf städtische Regionen. "Informationelle Stadt" (oder "smarte Stadt" im weiteren Sinne) ist ein Sammelbegriff, der die unterschiedlichen Trends der informationsbezogenen Stadtforschung vereint. Die informationelle Stadtforschung ist ein interdisziplinäres Unternehmen, das einerseits Informatik und Informationswissenschaft sowie andererseits Stadtforschung, Stadtplanung, Architektur, Stadtökonomie und Stadtsoziologie vereint. In diesem Artikel präsentieren wir Ergebnisse unserer empirischen Studien über solche Städte auf der ganzen Welt. Der fundierende theoretische Rahmen besteht aus sieben Bausteinen, nämlich Informations-und Wissensinfrastrukturen, Wirtschaft, Politik (E-Governance) und Verwaltung (E-Government), Räume (Raum der Ströme und Raum der Orte), Standortfaktoren, das Informationsverhalten der Menschen und die Problembereiche.Abstract: Some contemporary and future cities of the knowledge society are often labeled as "smart cities," "digital cities" or "ubiquitous cities," "knowledge cities," and "creative cities." Informational urbanism includes all aspects of information and (tacit as well as explicit) knowledge with regard to urban regions. "Informational city" (or "smart city" in a broader sense) is an umbrella term uniting the divergent trends of information-related city research. Informational urbanism is an interdisciplinary endeavor incorporating on the one side computer science and information science as well as on the other side urban studies, city planning, architecture, city economics, and city sociology. In this article, we present results from our empirical studies on smart cities all over the world. The foundational framework consists of seven building blocks, namely information and knowledge related infrastructures, economy, politics (E-Governance) and administration (E-Government), spaces (spaces of flows and spaces of places), location factors, the people's information behavior, and problem areas.

“…Second, many researchers emphasize platform innovation as a critical competitive factor (e.g., Dimmick et al 2004 ; Fietkiewicz and Lins 2016 ; Miguel and Casado 2016 ; Li et al 2017 ). By offering new and promising functions or designs, an OICP can give its users more satisfaction and opportunities for gratification that are essential to attracting and preserving those users (Li et al 2017 ).…”

The competition of interpersonal communication platforms is a complex process affected by various factors. This paper aims to simulate and analyze this process from a bottom-up perspective. Individual platform selection serves as the micro-foundation for the study. The evolution of online interpersonal communication networks, and innovations proposed by online interpersonal communication platforms, would also impact this process by affecting individual selection on those platforms. Three scenarios were designed for this study to simulate typical modes of competition. In this regard, the simulation results were compared to practical cases. Taken together, this bottom-up simulation model could reproduce and anticipate the applied competition process associated with such platforms. Based on this model, it was found that, in any case, one online interpersonal communication platform will eventually monopolize the market, either partly or entirely. The late entrant platform, comprising a major innovation, tends to fail when competing with the incumbent monopoly due to “network externalities.” Even when two competing platforms continue to propose innovations, and they will alternately lead the competition due to those innovations, this type of replacement of their competitive positions in the market may only occur a few times and then disappear completely.
