Abstract

Abstract The article traces the evolution of over-the-top (OTT) services in order to analyse how the growing use of Internet distribution influences the structural conditions and institutional arrangements in Denmark. This story is told in four parts: first, I outline how the shift from postal services to e-mail restructured the conditions for asynchronous one-to-one communication; second, I examine the introduction of web-based services and the declining role of the press as gatekeeper for asynchronous one-to-many communication; third, I focus on the impact of mobile broadband and smartphones on synchronous one-to-one communication and the telecommunications sector; and fourth, I analyse the emergence of streaming technologies and the reorganisation of synchronous one-to-many communication and broadcasting. Building on these examples, I argue that key welfare state principles have come under pressure and that research tends to underestimate the fundamental transformations of the institutional order.

丹麦互联网分布及其结构后果分析
摘要本文追溯了OTT服务的演变,以分析互联网分销的日益使用如何影响丹麦的结构条件和制度安排。这个故事分为四个部分:首先,我概述了从邮政服务到电子邮件的转变如何重组异步一对一通信的条件;第二,我考察了基于网络的服务的引入,以及新闻界作为异步一对多通信看门人的角色的下降;第三,我关注移动宽带和智能手机对同步一对一通信和电信行业的影响;第四,我分析了流媒体技术的出现以及同步一对多通信和广播的重组。基于这些例子,我认为关键的福利国家原则受到了压力,研究往往低估了制度秩序的根本转变。
