Summary of Topic

The composition of the Internet varies widely from country to country. In the U.S., the millions of networks that comprise the Internet are fairly commonly structured with readily decipherable naming conventions that enable high confidence in understanding location and connection details. Outside the U.S. every country has a unique construct that can impact the effectiveness of your fraud prevention efforts. Understanding these differences is extremely beneficial to opening new markets both for marketing effectiveness and fraud prevention. This presentation will deliver some concrete examples of Internet composition in several countries and specific lessons learned by merchants.
