»The Tragedy of the Commons«
• Resource is eventually overused• Multiple owners
• Everyone: privilege to use resource• No one: right to exclude others
• »When too many owners have such privileges of use, the resource is prone to overuse.» (Heller)
• Can you think of examples..?
Heller, M. A., The Tragedy of the Anticommons, Harvard Law Review, January 1998.Original term »Tragedy of the commons« is by Garrett Hardin (WP)

Tragedy of the Commons – Examples
• overlogging forests on public lands • overintensive use of public parks• overfishing the high seas

Privileges of inclusion dominate

»The tragedy is that rational individuals, acting separately, may collectively overconsume scarce resources. Each finds that she benefits by consumptioneven though she imposes larger costs on thecommunity.« (Heller)

»Tragedy of the Anticommons«
• Resource is eventually underused• Multiple owners
• Everyone: right to exclude others• No one: privilege of (exclusive) use

Mosaic Netscape – The Early Days
• The business model• Browse for free, sell server software
• The company• 04/94 Mosaic Corp, Marc Andreessen• 10/94 Browser Mosaic Netscape 0.9• 11/94 Name switch to «Netscape» • 08/95 Historic IPO, start of Internet Hype• Netscape browser defacto standard• (08/95 IE 1.0)
![Page 20: Lecture 2011.02: Key Terms and Concepts (Digital Sustainability)](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020122/54846fa8b47959ce0c8b4bbd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
«Browser wars of the 90s» – David vs. Goliath
• Success = attention of Microsoft• Strategy: use market power to stop rival• Bundle IE with Windows, use monopoly
• Browser Wars• «This Site is best viewed in ...» (HTML?)• Marketing > Technology• Instabilities, incompatibilities, bugs, etc.• Headache for customers
![Page 21: Lecture 2011.02: Key Terms and Concepts (Digital Sustainability)](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020122/54846fa8b47959ce0c8b4bbd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Browser wars – Consequences
• Netscape died• Sold 1998 to AOL for $4.2bln
• Microsoft got sued• Antitrust, monopoly status
• IE market exploded• Peak at ~96% of all PCs• Competition ceased• Innovation ceased? (IE6 to IE7: 5 years)
![Page 22: Lecture 2011.02: Key Terms and Concepts (Digital Sustainability)](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020122/54846fa8b47959ce0c8b4bbd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Browser wars – Analysis
• Market pressure?• Win the market vs. satisfy consumer• Featurebloat vs. bugfixing
• Obey standards or not?• IE lacked compliance with web
standards & had proprietary extensions• Web designer (had to) stick to IE,
sacrificed web standards
