Ad Classification at Right Media

by Benjamin G. Edelman

Abstract

Setting standards is particularly challenging given the large and growing marketplace, the numerous participants, their diverse requirements, and the dynamics of policy enforcement when market participants are competing intensely.

Keywords: Online Advertising; Governing Rules, Regulations, and Reforms; Policy; Market Participation; Standards; Web Sites;
