Abstract
Based upon the Internet perspective, this paper will attempt to clarify and revise
several ideas about the separation between infrastructure facilities and service
offerings in digital communications networks. The key notions that we will focus on in
this paper are: i) the bearer service as a technology-independent interface which
exports blind network functionality to applications development; ii) the organizational
consequences associated with the emergence of a sustainable market of bearer service:
a clear movement at the level of industrial structure from traditional hierarchies to
more market coordination.
