Description: 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 recent conference cosponsored by the Brookings Institution and the Cato Institute, where leading experts in various fields related to information technology presented their views.
