Abstract

This chapter examines the following ideas on regulation and public policy: • Information societies are enabled by regulations and public policies that support open communications; • Government, business and public sector collaboration is key to establishing policies that lead to economic and social development; • Open source applications, products and collaborative culture are accelerated by adopting universal technical standards; • To be sustained, accessibility to the Internet and keeping it free and open requires some vigilance; • Ways must be devised to assess the local impact of policy and regulations and to provide next steps.
