Harnessing the changing digital economy
The rise of the Internet and the digitization of information are affecting every corner of our lives. Government and business must adapt their policies to new digital realities or risk stifling future economic prosperity and opportunity.
Internet-based commercial activity challenges government policies and the principles that underlie them, for example in the protection of intellectual property, where digital technology undercuts the physical basis of copyright protection. At the same time, government policies shape the development of these technologies and the business models that employ them, as illustrated by the effects communications policies have on the development of broadband services and the competition between cable and telephone-based systems. CED reports, through its Digital Connections Council, have focused on "openness" and how open-access to research, open design of software, and open innovation are adding value to America's scientific, technological, and commercial activities.
"An innovative economy demands innovative policies. The potential for the Internet to benefit society through higher productivity growth and greater consumer welfare will not be fully realized until we rethink our current policies and their application."
- Charles Kolb, CED President |
