Antitrust Law today is more often than not about technology. This panel will endeavor to explain new antitrust issues raised by technology. It will discuss the new market structures and payment systems of the Internet and electronic commerce, the economic theories of network effects and lock-in and the relationship of antitrust law to intellectual property. Our goal is to give antitrust teachers and scholars some grounding in technology and economics of the new economy.
