| description |
The authors look at the rise of the
Internet as the main application behind the emerging global
information infrastructure. Many now believe that the
Internet provides a window into a future in which access to
information will be independent of geographic location and
interactivity in a multimedia environment will be
ubiquitous. The authors review the need for a regulatory
framework for the Internet in three critical areas:
provision of backbone access, Internet service providers,
and information services. They also explore the problem of
the appropriability of content, discussing intellectual
property rights in the digital era and other remedies to the
cost recovery problem. For developing countries, however,
the critical bottleneck is still their weak information infrastructure. |
