The information age technology revolution promises enormous
benefits to the U.S. and global economies. Yet if those benefits
are to be fully realized, policymakers in the U.S. and abroad must
rethink some fundamental premises about how economic activity has
traditionally been governed. Should we continue to regulate
industries the way we have in the past? Does the digital age
require a new approach to antitrust enforcement? To best facilitate
global electronic commerce, what changes are needed in intellectual
property law, professional licensing requirements, laws governing
privacy and content, and policies relating to standards? And what
steps, if any, are required to best ensure that all citizens have
access to the new technologies? This book examines these and other
policy issues. It draws on a spring 1997 conference sponsored by
the Brookings Institution and the Cato Institute where leading
experts in various fields related to information technology
presented their views. Copublished with the Cato Institute
