Competing for the Internet is the first detailed study of complaints related to Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers’ (ICANN) decisions that have been brought using ICANN’s Independent Review Process (IRP). The ICANN, founded in 1998, is a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation established to ensure a stable and secure global Internet. As the custodian of the Domain Name System (DNS), one of its key responsibilities is the introduction and promotion of competition in Internet-related markets, an aim which ICANN has tried to achieve through the delegation of generic top-level domains (gTLDs). This book investigates how successful ICANN has been in achieving this goal.
