A Managers Guide to the Law and Economics of Data Networks
by By Matsuura, Jeffrey H.
Category: Law , Intellectual Property , General

An attorney specializing in high-technology companies, Matsuura here does not speak to lawyers or economics, but to people who design, build, operate, and use data systems, including anyone who uses the Internet or any proprietary data network. He identifies specific concepts and fundamental principles of law and commerce to help technical professionals make better use of their own legal and business advisors by determining which issues require immediate legal attention and which can be deferred.  Assuming no background in either law or economics, he discusses managing network content, security and privacy, international issues, technical and operational standards, access and interconnection, and commercial relationships.
