Notes de l'éditeur
- Cultural vs. industrial goals, commerce vs. public service, market liberalization vs. state intervention democracy has not ranked highly among the priorities of public policy on new ICTs. Instead, policy in this area (has reflected the priority of unfettered technological innovation and growth technologies in ways that maximize their potential as media of industry, commerce, and economic accumulation). Historicaldepartures from the inclusiveness and participatory exercises of exercises such as the Aird and Massey Commissions, and a consistent tendency to respond more readily and decisively to the interests of major commercial and industrial actors (authority to regulate significant matters concerning these technologies to private and powerful economic actors in commercial markets)
- * Dominant presence of industry associations/business community—academic institutions with close ties with industry**the relative influence does not matter so much here because we are interested in seeing how the internet shapes the process, rather than the outcome itself***Trade Associations-23%Business -19%Individuals- 15%Academic Institutions-11%Research Networks/Think Tanks –11%Professional Associations 7%Not for Profit (Research and Advocacy) 5%Not for Profit (Education and Service) 3%Library and Education -4%Public Sector 2%
