The Information Economics of Distributed Ledgers: A Serverless Cloud Architecture for Telecommunications Governance in Developing Economies

Abstract

The governance of new technology projects in remote and developing economies is frequently undermined by severe information asymmetry and fragmented telecommunications infrastructure. While theoretical public policy advocates for the deployment of distributed ledger technologies to enhance institutional design and regulatory transparency, evaluating the economic impact of these systems relies heavily on static, retrospective datasets. This paper proposes a cloud-native architectural framework utilizing Amazon Web Services to construct a real-time, serverless pipeline for telecommunications governance and blockchain integration. By deploying asynchronous Python middleware integrated with simulated smart contracts, the proposed system programmatically ingests high-frequency network telemetry and cross-border telecommunications data. The system translates these inputs into a dynamic Institutional Transparency Index, instantly identifying regulatory bottlenecks and pricing friction across public-private partnerships. Preliminary architectural evaluations demonstrate that decoupling the governance tracking from legacy, centralized state databases significantly reduces information asymmetry, providing policy researchers with a deterministic, highly scalable tool for modeling the economics of distributed ledgers in developing contexts.
