- Abstract
- There is a fundamental and less than adequately recognized tension underlying information policy issues and that tension is between the nature of information as inherently a value added product and the nature of information as a commodity with compelling 'public good' characteristics and with unique properties and transfereabiblity and distributability. These conflicting properties of information each attempt to drive information policy in opposite directions and the magnitude of these forces is to a large degree a function of information technology, and therefore changes in information technology change the balance between these forces and require new solutions. Concludes that these phenomena need to be understood if the information policy process is to be guided intelligently
