- Abstract
- State of the art review of the Net (the global telecommunications network as a whole) and the Internet with particular reference to the development of a coherent policy for those uisng these telecommunications facilities. Policy issues discussed include: standards, intellectual property; encryption, rules for transborder data flow; and data privacy. Considers their implications for individuals as well as government and commercial institutions. The review is limited to English language publications and explores specific issues that affect the structure of government, the economy and society, as well as those involved in the design of the net and looks at comparative and international issues. Concludes that the development of policies for the net is made difficult by the many different bodies of law that apply, by the fact that the relevant technologies are new and changing because that technologies are new and rapidly changing and because the net is global. Specific characteristics of the net require new thinking on a constitutional level, since information creation, processing, flows and use are constitutive forces in society
