| Content
Regulation and the Internet |
| As
the Internet becomes a mass medium and as broadband networks capable
of delivering audio and video become more affordable, governments
are growing increasingly concerned about illegal, adult, or harmful
content being distributed over the Internet. In many cases, they are
responding to parents' concerns about the need to protect children.
In other cases, government seek to repress "subversive"
political speech or harmful content being distributed over the Internet.
In many cases, they are responding to parents' concerns about the
need to protect children. In other cases, government seek to repress
"subversive" political speech. |

| The
Role of International Organizations in Accelerating the Internet and
e-Business |
| The
Internet was "born global." It is not constrained by national
boundaries and often by-passes national regulations. As a result,
in recent years various international organizations have launched
efforts to facilitate the growth of the Internet by addressing key
policy issues and by promoting e-business and other uses of the Internet.
This panel will examine the roles of the World Trade Organization,
UNESCO, and other intergovernmental organizations as well as those
of private sector groups such as the Global Business Dialogue on E-business
and the Global Internet Project. |

| Privacy
and surveillance in Cyberspace |
| Governments
are growing increasingly concerned about the use of the Internet for
criminal activities and are starting to take steps to ensure that
law enforcement agencies can intercept and read digital communications.
Internet users concerned about the privacy of their communications
are vigorously opposing government regulations that would give the
police and others access to their e-mail. How best to reconcile these
conflicting goals? |
